Certified Procurement Professional (CPP)

About Course

This course is designed to provide a comprehensive, practical, and globally-relevant education to develop Certified Procurement Professionals (CPP), focusing on strategic value creation, risk management, and digital transformation in procurement and supply chain management.
The Certified Procurement Professional (CPP) course is an intensive program structured to elevate procurement practitioners from operational excellence to strategic business partners. It covers the entire procure-to-pay (P2P) and source-to-pay (S2P) lifecycle, emphasizing advanced techniques in strategic sourcing, supplier relationship management (SRM), contract law, cost management (including Total Cost of Ownership – TCO), negotiation, and ethical/sustainable practices. The curriculum heavily integrates real-world case studies and practical application tools to ensure participants can immediately apply learned concepts in their professional roles.

What Will You Learn?

Kraljic Matrix to categorize purchases and develop appropriate sourcing
strategies.

Quotation (RFQ), and Request for Information (RFI) processes, and apply
a weighted-average criteria matrix for objective supplier selection.
● Calculate the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) for a major organizational

risks (e.g., supply disruption, compliance failure) and apply a
decision-making framework to resolve an ethical dilemma in the
procurement context.
