Testimonials
As a former student of Professor Ghamami, I was very fortunate to have known and learned from him, so much so that I enrolled into the CPSCM Certification Program.
This incredible journey has taught me everything I needed as a procurement professional and boosted my experience level for long term growth.
The topics that encouraged me like – cost modeling, negotiating, limitation of liability, and TCO (total cost of ownership), are just a small fraction of what I enjoyed and enhance my confidence from other colleagues. I highly recommend this program to any new contract and/or procurement professional, and anyone for their own personal use, who wants to achieve personal growth and open career doors they never knew existed.
I feel this is great for any contacts and procurement offices to sign up as it’s not just for individuals.The CPSCM Certification program is the best investment I have made to date on a professional and personal level.
As a sourcing executive searching for ways to create a competitive advantage for the company, I found few places to turn before I discovered The Center for Purchasing and Supply Chain Management Excellence. There are very few places to turn to for comprehensive and relevant Purchasing content to sharpen the skills of procurement professionals, where the CPSCM certification fills the gap.
Mr. Ghamami, whom I've found to be probably the world's leading authority on purchasing and negotiations, has put together a comprehensive knowledge-base of leading edge material that helped me understand what it takes to get the best deal done every time, and making purchasing relevant, with a seat at the table and with critical recognition inside the company as a value added center of profit. The material is delivered in a contextual and easy to understand manner, driving home both the science and the art of getting deals done well.
Right after I completed several modules of the certification program, I negotiated the largest deal of my career driving record savings over a hundred million in total savings to the bottom line. I owe much of that to Mr. Ghamami and his CPSCM curriculum.”
Everything You've Ever Heard About Procurement, Purchasing, Contract Management And Negotiation strategies For Your Business Is WRONG! Unless You Go Through CPSCM By The Real God Father, Omid Ghamami. The Program Is Not Only A Game Changer But Also Is An Eye Opener To The Facts Of Procurement Profession And Its Importance To Any Organization. The Beauty Of This program Is that It Is So Applicable And Easy To Understand. I Even Recommend CPSCM Program To Finance & Marketing Managers.
The CPSCM certification is the art of negotiation at its best. It provides you with the tools you need to create value in the supply chain that are capable of benefiting the very end consumer. Work with more quality, agility, efficiency and transparency, achieving differentiated results by doing what you like in the most productive, business oriented way, focused on long-term results that are aligned with your company's strategic objectives. Exceed the role you and your team have in the organization. Leverage the relationship with your suppliers by challenging them to seek from the simplest of the changes that can take costs away from the supply chain, to disruptive innovation that brings mutual benefits and enjoy a more meaningful and promising career.
The CPSCM Certification Program is like having a private instructor teach you how to become the best purchasing professional that you can be. Taking this certification program has opened my eyes to a new and exciting world of purchasing. I fell into purchasing by accident 25 years ago, as most people do.
Investing in this program has brought me up into the 21st century of supplier management. I am impressed with way that the course is taught; it was much easier than memorizing. I personally do not learn by memorization, I learn by doing and making mistakes. I now believe that my career is on the right track and will be implementing the strategies that I learned as soon as possible. To anyone thinking of investing in the CPSCM Certification Program, I highly recommend it!!
Let Us Answer Your CPSCM™ Questions
We do not encourage going through this program as fast as possible. It is our experience that people learn in layers and through application, spread thoughtfully over time. This means taking the content slowly, reviewing the materials again after completing the section, and then taking time to apply the concepts before moving onto the next section of the course. Though in rare cases we have seen registrants complete in as little as 3 months, taking this approach typically takes 6-12 months and in our experience generates better outcomes.
We have guidelines and not requirements for the CPSCM™ Certification Program. We do not believe in forcing you to wait until the time is right, but we can advise you on what we think works best. By far the biggest difference maker is experience. Procurement professionals with at least 3-5 years of experience will do far better than those with little to no experience. The CPSCM™ Certification Program presupposes this knowledge and experience in fact. We do not have educational requirements but we do find that those with bachelor’s degrees in related fields are already equipped with the mechanics of learning, studying, and applying information – we have not found however that putting an educational requirement is valuable. Our goal is the same as yours – increased personal knowledge and career success for you, and it is in this spirit that we make the above recommendations.
When we launched the CPSCM™, we had an agreement for issuance of certifications by the University of Houston, and they agreed to issue certificates through their School of Continuing Education. Their School of Continuing Education has since closed and as such, we are in the process of identifying other third party universities for potential alliance. All existing and future CPSCM™ holders will benefit from any such alliances and will be notified accordingly.
The exams are online and on demand. You start and stop at your schedule. In order to progress from one Module to the next in the CPSCM™ Certification program, you need to pass the corresponding exam for the last Module completed with a score of 90% or better. You may retake the exam as many times as necessary to complete this objective.
We currently do not have recertification requirements. All current graduates of the CPSCM™ program will have lifetime certification. Should we change this model in the future, you will be grandfathered under the current system.
We are pleased to announce that we have upgraded our Learning Management System (LMS) platform to one that has the best capabilities in industry, and we feel is far ahead of the competition. This new platform has a management dashboard whereby management and their designees can see overall group performance to CPSCM™ Certification Program completion as well as individual level performance.
