The

We offer a comprehensive program for building competences and developing merchants (based on over 50 types of available training, tailored to the client's needs and situation, ideally developed based on the study of merchants' competence gaps

Certification

Multidimensional study of the level of development of the purchasing function in the organization based on a comprehensive comparative analysis with developed international companies and the international CIPS Purchasing Standard (a set of best practices in Purchasing developed in cooperation with over 1000 Purchasing practitioners from around the world).

Indication of the competence gap and action plan to be implemented to enable certification at a given level. The awarded certificate is proof of the high level of development of the organization's purchasing functions and compliance with good international practices in this area.

Individual certification

In practice, the CIPS certificate is the purchasing equivalent of such prestigious certificates as CFA for financiers or ACCA for accountants and auditors.

The goal of individual development of CIPS members is usually to complete a several-year certification process, pass approximately 20 exams and at the end receive the title of MCIPS (Member of CIPS). However, the suggested courses depend on individual purchasing experience; for people with many years of experience in the profession, we have prepared special paths.

Certificate

Receiving it gives purchasing experts a significant competitive advantage on the labor market. Unfortunately, this title is still not very popular in Poland, but its recognition in Western European countries and the rest of the world is high, which means that it is often treated as an indispensable distinction for an effective and experienced merchant.

benefits

According to research, CIPS-certified buyers earn on average 5% - 10% more per year than the average in purchasing managerial positions. In addition, obtaining the CIPS certificate also gives you access to extensive materials and entitles you to participate in conferences and votes for the Institute's authorities.
