Introduction

In this new era of ever-changing global economy, competence management is crucial to improve business performance as well as to manage risks. The core competency of the related profession serves to validate the individual’s ability and knowledge to perform the work challenges to a set of quality standards and acceptable level of performance in employment with the highest credential and recognition.

 

SIPMM offers two competency awards based on either the accreditation or the certification of a practitioner in the specialised field of Purchasing, Logistics and Supply Chain management – the Accredited Practitioner (AP) award or the Certified Practitioner (CP) award. These awards are designed to validate the competence of a practitioner in the specialised field of the profession.

The SIPMM Competency awards are recognised and endorsed by the World Certification Institute, US. The competency awards are valid for a period of three years and are subject to re-accreditation or re-certification by the Institute every three yearly.
