Certification

As part of an International Company working with many Suppliers around the world, with different contract procedures/practices, legal terms, etc., the CPP certification (and now currently taking the CPPM and later the CGPP certification) has very much interconnected my "international street knowledge" with theoretical terminology/practices as well provide as refresher regarding some old techniques/topics. Thank you. Regards

It taught me purchasing techniques in addition to re-teaching me old purchasing techniques I may have forgotten about. I have found great value in this certification.

I would recommend getting a CPP, not just for prestige, but also for the knowledge that comes with studying for the specific requirements of the CPP exam. Purchasing people are expected to know about a wide variety of business subjects now, not just how to place orders.
