Typical procurement courses and learning sessions mainly provide theoretical knowledge. For the most part, they leave out real-life case studies, hands-on experience, and practical exercises.
They’re generally built around main topics and themes without actually diving deep into the subject and the intricacies of procurement and supply chain management.
The vast majority of acquired certificates simply show that someone enrolled, gained a vague understanding, and successfully finished a procurement course, rather than offering proof of being able to put knowledge into practice.
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.
While our learning programs greatly benefit individuals, they’re designed to enable enterprises to capitalize on and draw from their employees’ broadened knowledge and expertise.
Our global accreditation means enterprises are guaranteed their employees complete top-quality certification programs that transform talented professionals into high-performing experts. To put it simply, the value-added for enterprises is a procurement talent pool that will drive a competitive edge.
