STRATEGIC SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT LEADERSHIP PROGRAM
The redesigned Certified Professional Purchaser (C.P.P.) accreditation program now called the Strategic Supply Chain Management Leadership Program, offers an executive/graduate level competency-based curriculum. It is balanced to deliver advanced supply chain management knowledge and high level business skills. Participants must meet admission requirements, complete eight modules, mandatory interactive workshops, meet the work experience requirement, prior to attending the intensive in-residence week program followed by the final examination (visit www.ontarioinstitute.com and www.cppcareer.ca).
Already registered in the Principles-based C.P.P. Accreditation program?
The Principles-based C.P.P. accreditation program will be officially phased out by June 2009 which coincides with last national written exam sitting. Eligible registered accreditation program registrants are required to attend the in-residence week (last offering May 2009) before proceeding to the written exam. One additional exam sitting (for rewrites only) is planned for October 2009.
Note: Prior completion of a Principles Course or other individual courses or seminars does not automatically register you in the Principles-based curriculum.
Pursuing the Certificate in Purchasing?
The components of this program will be phased out by June 2009. The Certificate in Supply Management (launching January 2009) replaces this program and aimed at entry to intermediate practitioners.
