In order to further professionalize the profession, and in an attempt to bridge the gap between
education and the demand from employers, the IFPSM undertook a major research project called the
“Global Standard”. This Global Standard establishes clear, objective criteria for the assessment
and accreditation of educational programs of bachelor level. Programs meeting the Purchasing and
Supply Global Standard have objectively demonstrated their ability to produce graduates who meet
a rigorous world standard for procurement professionals.
When you join Procurement Academy’s CIPP and CIAPP programs you are joining a program with a

procurement role. The designations are recognized credentials throughout the world. Once

training and experience and demonstrate an established level of knowledge necessary to
competently perform the work of a corporate buyer.
