C.P.M. = Respect
“My boss and the board now instantly attribute more credibility to my profession. This leads to more exciting and challenging tasks, a job promotion, and ultimately better career prospects.”
Geoff Fell, Consultant – Logistics & Training
"The C.P.M. Program enhanced my knowledge and understanding of Procurement by linking theoretical principles with practical examples of day to day activities carried out by a Procurement Professional. In todays competitive environment, companies across all industries are looking for employees that can achieve extraordinary results, and the C.P.M. Program is the vehicle to deliver this in the Procurement space." Paul Sidhu, Stream Leader, Trade Working Capital Project, Orica Ltd
“Several professions e.g. accountants and doctors must continue to update their skills in order to retain registration. Purchasing is also a profession evidenced by this requirement of C.P.M.” Keith Robinson, Supply Chain Consultant and Trainer
“I was attracted to the C.P.M. as it was a professional certification based on the actual work of purchasing/procurement specialists rather than on theory. I found that the exposure to the wider body of knowledge that I gained through studying for my C.P.M. was interesting, instructive and useful in my procurement work. It also gave me an invaluable amount of background knowledge that assisted me, as a sessional TAFE teacher, in interesting and motivating Purchasing and Logistics Diploma and Advanced Diploma students.” Richard A. C. Foster, Senior Analyst, Grants and Contracts, Corporate Resources Branch, Consumer Affairs Victoria
"The C.P.M. course had me beside fellow professionals for a duration, intensity and standard which only comes from working hard towards a meaningful purchasing qualification. The C.P.M. program had me thinking and working across a breadth of purchasing experience not attainable in the normal work environment.
The work experience pre-requirement is why you get so much out of the C.P.M. program.
You have to earn the C.P.M. qualification that is what makes it so worthwhile.
The C.P.M. is a serious commitment of time and effort, but the sense of achievement is the reward.
The C.P.M. program is simply relevant to a strategic purchasing role. Attend any number of seminars, the C.P.M. still gives the knowledge that counts and sticks."
Bruce M Allender, Group Purchasing Manager, PaperlinX Ltd
“The Certified Purchasing Manager [C.P.M.] Program focuses on all aspects of the Purchasing & Materials Management function and is designed to promote best procurement practice encompassing global supply and sourcing strategies in a wide range of industries and businesses. To me, the program delivered the resources for best procurement practice for both individual and business success. I found the program was very useful in allowing me to measure and make relevant comparisons with other Purchasing Managers across a broad and diverse range of companies and professions. This was particularly advantageous to identify areas for effective improvement within our business by understanding the practices within other organisations.” Michelle Smith, Print & General Product Manager, Crown Casino Ltd
