Every certification training is basically carried out around market analysis, supplier selection, procurement negotiation, contract management, logistics distribution and performance evaluation, but there are still great differences between them. Usually, we need to judge the choice from the following aspects: the length of history, popularity, the composition and scale of students, the rigor of exams, and whether we have our own teaching system and teaching materials.
Among them, 1 2 is an internationally renowned certificate, followed by ITC, CIP(PMAC) and CPPM.
1.CIPS has a history of more than 80 years. Every year, there are 45,000 dynamic members (students with CIPS certificate of purchasing and supply manager and registered at the same time), and the full-time staff is about 140. The annual Global Purchasing Alliance Conference is held by it, and the exam uses a unified question type. The exams are held at the same time (regardless of the time difference). In many universities offering supply chain management majors in Commonwealth countries, CIPS advanced certificates (divided into basic stage and advanced stage diplomas) can be included in the corresponding courses. Its biweekly magazine
2.CPM is an American project with a relatively complete curriculum system. The first disadvantage is that the cost is too high, about 1.5 million. Due to copyright and other reasons, the introduction of learning materials in Chinese has always been a problem, and bilingual examination is also an obstacle. In addition, because there has never been a teacher training class in China, the lecturer's understanding of the system is not comprehensive enough. Moreover, the exam adopts the method of multiple-choice questions. As we all know, there are many subjective factors that need to be balanced in the procurement process. The final decision-making judgment and execution is not as absolute as the simple right-wrong tick given by multiple-choice questions. This is the deepest experience in the hot year of enterprise, and it is also the deficiency of CPM. Of course, all of the above are related to the style that Americans always focus on me, and domestic training institutions are also helpless.
3. The International Trade Centre is an organization under UNCTAD. In the past, it was aimed at some members who received its assistance projects, but it did not have much prestige in corporate procurement. If you have access to its original textbooks, you will find that its textbook system was donated by CIPS.
Furthermore, the current ITC training examination in China is co-operated with China Federation of Logistics Purchasing, which is divided into Chinese and English, with different contents and different certificates. China Federation of Logistics Purchasing continues to use its main teachers (from Beijing Jiaotong University, School of Materials, etc.). ) In the logistics teacher training, the connection between theory and practical work is not enough. At present, employees of some United Nations agencies in China, such as UNICEF and UNDP, are participating in CIPS.
4.PMAC is a Canadian project, which is rather confusing in China. The domestic sponsor is UDS Education Software Company. Textbooks are taken from five kinds of public publications, and exams replace exams. Except for the nominal authorization of PMAC, it is in a state of "teacher" and "examination".
Simply put, CIPS and CPM belong to high-end certification, ITC is also an option that buyers can consider, and others need to be avoided.
