Program Overview

The Certified International Purchasing Manager (CIPM) is designed for current and future purchasing & supply chain professionals and managers, reflecting levels of understanding and of competence needed to assume responsibility for managing purchasing & supply chain operations at the international level. It is based on a Learning System (LS) developed by the International Trade Centre (ITC), and conducted by the prestigious International Purchasing and Supply Chain Management Institute.

The certification examination review course prepares purchasing and materials management professionals for the Certified International Purchasing Manager (CIPM) Examination sponsored by the International Purchasing and Supply Chain Management Institute (IPSCMI).  Certification as a CIPM is increasingly being specified in position descriptions and job announcements as desired and/or minimum qualifications to be met for such professionals.
