The Skill Dynamics/IFPSM certificate is not just a diploma but a meticulously developed educational program. Field and academic experts created an exceptional learning and advancement path for procurement professionals to learn how to turn theory into practice.
The main value-adding factor is that enterprises gain a certified procurement expert who knows global best practices and will effectively comply with the highest industry standards.
