The CPP and CPPM is the most relevant, contemporary and world class certification that students can avail of worldwide. This is the first time that the American Purchasing Society has joined hand with an internationally reputed training and educational consultancy like High Level Training Institute to introduce a comprehensive training programme followed by a prestigious certification. There are two levels of certification, one that paves the foundation for a flourishing career in purchase and the second that helps you to attain advanced knowledge and expertise.

The course content is practical and helps delegates to deliver measurable results and savings for the brand/enterprise they work for. The certification program is imperative for purchasing professionals who would like a rewarding career and want to pursue the highest recognition in the field of supply chain management. From reverse auctions and eProcurement to strategic sourcing to improving supplier performance and more, you’ll learn exactly how to deliver results for your employer. And when you make your employer more successful, your own career success is likely to follow!

Certification is crucial towards becoming a world‐ class purchasing professional. Today’s employers refuse to reward employees for yesterday’s skills.

They demand that purchasing professionals should use most modern skills and achieve unprecedented results. They want purchasing professionals to save more money, achieve better operational performance, and reduce risk.

The CPP and CPPM are impressive purchasing certifications that validate your stand as a successful professional. It is just what you need to bring the most modern purchasing practices into your organization and achieve your career potential.

Professionalism ‐ Certification indicates a high level of professionalism to both co-workers and customers, increasing one’s value in the market place.

Leadership ‐ Certification signifies an employee as dedicated to continuous improvement of himself/herself.

Recognition ‐ Only a small fraction of professionals ever achieve certification, indicating that they are a leading professional in the purchasing and supply chain profession.

Knowledge ‐ Certification will improve one’s understanding of the most current processes and trends in the purchasing and supply chain profession.

Ethical Behaviour ‐ Individuals who become certified must subscribe to a rigorous code of ethics appropriate to the purchasing profession.

Does Certification Impact Salary Levels?
