The Certified Professional Purchaser (C.P.P.) designation sets the national standard for excellence in supply chain management in Canada. It is the most sought-after achievement in the profession. A comprehensive accreditation program certifies that the C.P.P. has attained the highest level of competency. Adherence to a Code of Ethics ensures the highest level of integrity.
With procurement, operations, logistics and all areas of supply chain management playing an increasingly important role in organizations, more employers are seeking skilled professionals to do the job. Learn why becoming a C.P.P. will benefit your career.
Called the Strategic Supply Chain Management Leadership Program, the program leading to C.P.P. accreditation has been redesigned and enhanced. The new program shifts the focus from purchasing to strategic supply chain management to meet the evolving needs of the marketplace.
As of January 2007, anyone wishing to earn the C.P.P. would enrol in the Supply Chain Management Leadership Program. C.P.P. candidates enrolled in the Principles course-based accreditation program are encouraged to complete it by its phase-out in June 2009.
