The object of this course is to prepare experienced buyers, purchasing agents, and purchasing managers for the Certified Purchasing Professional examination. Knowledge of the content of the course will contribute to success in taking the examination. This course will cover the essentials of the purchasing process, and the organization and management of the purchasing function. Portions of the course will cover aspects of accounting and other business functions that purchasing professionals should know. This condensed version includes the two part prep courses, the study guide, and the examination. It does not include the certification required online courses. If a student wants these included they can register for the full version. Once a person registers for the course the study guide is mailed to the student using Priority Mail. The two parts of this course are self-running and online. They can be taken at any time of the day and whenever is convenient to the student. There is no instructor for this course. The exam is made available when the student feels that he/she has adequately prepared for it; however, the course should be completed and the exam taken within one month of receiving the course instructions. Although there are additional requirements involved, the completion of this course and successful passing of the examination meets the exam requirements for certification. Certification must still be applied for separately and there are separate fees for the processing of the application.
