Purchasing and procurement are the functions for managing the flow of goods and services into the organization.
In addition, they are the foundation of strong, collaborative relationships with suppliers and their value is now recognized as an integral part of cost control within the organization.
Hence, when purchasing and procurement are not effective, the following outcomes are real possibilities:
To become more effective and prevent these costly outcomes, employees in purchasing and procurement role need strong capabilities.
And these skills cannot just be learned on the job: they need to be taught.
In this course, participants will learn the concepts of purchasing and procurement, including what a supply chain looks like, the purchasing cycle, essential tools and strategies for making the best purchasing relationships work, managing bids, and more.
Rich in valuable contents, the course starts from the basics and did not leave out important but often underrated areas like ethics, risks, and agile procurement.
And, it's designed taking into consideration the fact that purchase and procurement are continually evolving. So, it equips participants with all key skills required for optimal performance in today's purchasing and procurement.

Training Information
Delivery: E-learning (interactive, self-paced, and convenient).
How It Works: Using the unique login details we will send, participants simply access our learning portal with their browser and start learning.
Each participant will be in control of their learning pace and so can leverage our built-in concept of scaffolding to boost learning outcome.
Besides, they take the training at their convenience – any time of the day that suits their schedule and as frequently as they like until they finish.
Anywhere in the course a participant stops temporarily, it’s automatically saved so when they resume they continue from there by default.
Duration: Because it's self-paced, participants finish at different times. However, on the average, busy participants finish in 1 week.
Reports: We send reports periodically to your organization until all participants complete their training. For each participant, the reports show progress, performance score, total time spent learning, and the last time course was accessed.
Certificate: Each participant receives a certificate of training if course is successfully completed.
Access period: 30 days (can be extended).
Access device: Computer, Smartphone, or Tablet.
Comes with: Course transcripts for reference, and 100% money-back guarantee.
Learning Management & Support: We are usually in touch with every participant to encourage and support them until they finish. This leads to very high course completion rate.
Learning Outcome: On LearnSmart, the learning outcome compares favorably with that of conventional training. This is because of increased level of participation through interactivity and learning-pace control.
Throughout each course, in an interactive manner, there are engaging questions and exercises that help assess the participant’s understanding as they learn. This approach gives concepts their own room to breathe and get digested.
And with control of their learning pace, each participant will have the ability to stop and reflect whenever they want, or return to previously-delivered content, and thus ensure a deeper understanding before continuing. A participant will have the time to digest and integrate information being presented into their existing understanding and context. This is how they make sense of it leading to higher levels of cognitive engagement and higher levels of retention.
For the best learning outcome, we recommend that training be taken in chunks of minutes consistently rather than taking it in a long stretch trying to finish quickly.
