Abstract

This paper briefly reviews the requirements for the Certified Purchasing Manager (C.P.M.) and Accredited Purchasing Practitioner (A.P.P.) designations and discusses study and test taking skills many have found useful when preparing for their C.P.M. or A.P.P. examinations. The last two sections discuss how to use the C.P.M. and A.P.P. Diagnostic Kits to prepare for the examinations and provide helpful test taking tips.
