International Professional Certificate In Procurement and Supply

The International Professional Certificate in Procurement and Supply was newly developed in 2021 to incorporate all modern concepts related to procurement and supply operations. It is the first professional certification offered in Arabic that focuses on procurement and supply processes, given its comprehensive coverage of all activities within the procurement framework and their integration with various supply chain operations.

Additionally, it places significant emphasis on supply chain-specific processes. The certificate is designed with content structured across three books, each built on key pillars that encompass all fundamental procurement activities and related operations. The first book covers procurement operations, while the second focuses on supplier relationship management and achieving excellence in this domain to foster partnerships. The third book, supply chain operations, provides a comprehensive overview of the entire supply chain ecosystem, covering all its processes and activities.

Who should register?

The Chartered Institute recommends that individuals seeking this international certification be actively engaged in procurement, contracting, supplier management, or supply chain operations. Candidates should ideally be involved in overseeing and monitoring procurement and supply activities, whether related to purchasing processes, supplier relationships, or any supply operations—particularly those focusing on the upstream aspect of supply chains. Therefore, to apply for this international certification, candidates are preferred to have a fundamental understanding of procurement processes and an awareness of the integrated nature of supply chain activities. Additionally, it is advantageous for candidates to have obtained foundational certifications in the field or hold a bachelor’s degree in procurement or supply chain management and wish to advance their expertise in this specialisation.
