EXPIRING A.P.P.S HOLDING A CURRENT C.P.M.

An excerpt from the volunteer newsletter News Line on A.P.P. certification:

…. Candidates have a number of reasons for maintaining both designations. Here are a few of the more common reasons we’ve heard….

Some C.P.M.s carry both the C.P.M. and A.P.P. designations to promote the value of the A.A.P. program. Because the program was established only six years ago, it is not as well known as the C.P.M. program. Others believe maintaining both designations demonstrates a competency in both the tactical/operational side of purchasing (A.P.P.) and the managerial and strategic aspects of purchasing (C.P.M.)

Our hope is that current C.P.M.s will continue to show their support for the A.P.P. program. If you have questions about the A.P.P., please e-mail us at certification@ism.ws or call the ISM Certification Department at 800/888-6276, and speak to Mary Floyd at Ext. 3083.
