ISM Onsite C.P.M. Testing and Review


The Institute for Supply Management™ now offers certification and accreditation testing at your location. With onsite testing, you control the environment and create the atmosphere that best matches your organizational culture.
As a leader in professional development, research, and education, the association's C.P.M. and A.P.P. programs are recognized as the premier designation for purchasing and supply management professionals. A team of certified and accredited professionals translates into organizational effectiveness, efficiency, and overall operational success. From the bottom line to the top ranks, the entire organization benefits from the impact of certification.
Bringing the exam to your employees offers you the chance to integrate the entire testing process into your organization's mission and goals. And the benefits of onsite testing give you a competitive advantage that surpasses even the most ambitious professional development effort.
- Control the Environment
- Offer Maximum Convenience
- Develop and maintain a Certified work force
- Save time, travel, money
- Increase the rate of program completion
A team of C.P.M.s and A.P.P.s approach their jobs with renewed vigor. Through your support and encouragement, employees realize increased performance, greater job satisfaction, and a heightened sense of professional empowerment.
In addition to testing, ISM offers a C.P.M. review and preparation course. Upon completion of the course, employees can immediately begin testing.
ISM offers both the C.P.M. and A.P.P. to fulfill the training and development needs of a diverse and complex profession. The C.P.M. designation applies to those involved in managerial, strategic, and administrative functions. The A.P.P. applies to entry level professionals or those employees outside the purchasing department who perform supply management functions.
