In history, the main aim of Purchasing was to ensure the lowest price possible. This often compromised on a good relationship with the supplier and generally a negotiation with quality. Over time, this concept of purchasing gradually changed into a cost-saving function in which contracts and supplier relationships were developed with cost-savings goals. These cost-savings often were ushered via product improvements, process improvements, or supplier development efforts.

Today, purchasing professional certification is a considered as a powerful factor which has an enormous impact on the sales and costs forces of the organization. Thus, purchasing is increasingly a core competency of the firm now. So, organizations are employing Expert Purchasing Professionals to find and develop suppliers and bring in expertise that is highly valued by the organization. To meet this demand of expert purchasing professionals, the American Purchasing Society has designed the CPP Training and CPPM Certification courses.

These certification programs are one of the world’s most highly esteemed credentials and most sought after qualifications in the purchasing and supply chain field.

The ITI Institute in the UAE has tied up with the American purchasing society to offer the CPP and CPPM courses to interested candidates. It offers world class training by bringing a vast range of highly qualified industry experts who explain concepts with real life case studies. This not only makes the learning interesting but also helps candidates understand the application of concepts in real life situations.

In CPP, which is the foundation course, candidates get a grab of risk management, procurement and international sourcing. Procurement and supply chain professionals working in any type of industry would benefit from taking up the course. The CPPM is an advanced course which candidates can take up after the successful completion of CPP. It helps you sharpen your purchasing skills and understand how to solve complex problems faced by the industry.

These certifications open up many job opportunities for the certified candidates. Further, just like any other certification, getting a CPP and CPPM certification provides you with a competitive edge. A nationwide survey carried out by the APS found that the CPP certified candidates earned 23.4% higher wages than their uncertified counterparts. Then, definitely the CPPM candidates would earn higher than this.

We invite interested candidates therefore to take up these certification programs from the ITI Institute (http://itiinstitute.org/). The two levels of training followed by a prestigious certification can be obtained with a 10-week comprehensive program from the ITI Institute. You can download the courses’ brochure from the website.
