CPSM Courses

Today is Wednesday, March 10, 2010

Institute for Supply Management™ (ISM) launched the Certified Professional in Supply Management® (CPSM®) program in May 2008. The CPSM® is the credential that surpasses the demands of the international marketplace with multi-faceted skills in areas such as supplier relationship management, commodity management, risk and compliance issues and social responsibility.

In order to qualify for the CPSM, each participant must have:

  • A four year degree from an accredited educational institution.
  • Three years work experience in procurement and/or supply chain management.

Beyond this, there are two tracks to get your CPSM:

If the applicant does not have the C.P.M.,

Track 1 - pass each of the three Exams.

These reviews help prepare supply professionals for taking the CPSM exams. Participants will gain an understanding of the CPSM program and of the breadth of content covered in each of the three CPSM exams:

  • Exam 1: Foundation of Supply Management
  • Exam 2: Effective Supply Management Performance
  • Exam 3: Leadership in Supply Management

If the applicant has the C.P.M.,

Track 2 – pass the Bridge Exam.

This review helps prepare supply professionals for taking the CPSM Bridge Exam. Participants will gain an understanding of the CPSM program and of the breadth of content covered in each of the three CPSM areas as marked as Bridge material:

  • Foundation of Supply Management
  • Effective Supply Management Performance
  • Leadership in Supply Management

Both programs have the added benefit of providing many best practices that can be applied immediately in the participant’s organization.

Both reviews begin with a brief overview of exam content areas, question format and types, exam characteristics and test-taking tips. CPSM candidates will spend most of the course working on activities tied to tasks weighted most heavily in the exam specification and where candidates may expect the most exam questions on the exam(s).
