Procurement Training & Certifications Built & Led by CPOs
Real-life, practical training and certifications that change how people work, not just what they know. Built and led by former CPOs, so it gets applied on the job, not filed away.

Most Procurement Training Teaches but Nothing Changes.
People finish the course, hold the certificate, and go back to working exactly as before. Knowledge went up, behavior did not. And a function that cannot turn learning into action stays where it is: reactive, measured only on savings, and brought in late to approve decisions others already made.
Training That Gives Procurement the Respect and Recognition It Deserves
We train procurement on the full technical skills (sourcing, category, negotiation, cost, risk, ESG), but more importantly on how to spot what stakeholders have not: the supplier risk, the lead time that bites in month four, the trade-off buried in the fine print.
So procurement catches problems before they happen and stakeholders bring procurement in early, not out of policy, but because it adds value others miss.
Every program is built and led by former CPOs, and application is built in through work-based tasks and execution coaching, so people use what they learn instead of filing it away.
Procurement stops being a rubber stamp and becomes who others want in before the decisions are made.

View Certifications →The Hard Part Was Never the Teaching
Since 2010 we have built PPC on one principle: procurement capability is best taught by people who have actually run the function, not studied it. Everyone promises practical training. We build application in, so it actually happens: real cases, work-based tasks, and coaching on your live challenges.
Even the most experienced leaders find something new after working with us. The people below arrived with decades of experience and plenty of skepticism. They left having changed how they work.

Is this only for large teams?
No. We work with individuals through certification, smaller teams through dedicated workshops, and large functions through a full internal customized Academy.
Is the training customized to our industry and categories?
For team workshops and the Academy, yes. We build content, cases, and examples around your roles, categories and real challenges.
Who actually teaches it?
Former CPOs and senior procurement practitioners who have run the function, not career trainers.
Live virtual or onsite?
Both. Delivery is flexible to fit your team.
How is this different from off-the-shelf training and e-learning?
We build application in, through work-based tasks and execution coaching, so learning turns into behavior on the job, not just a completed course.
How do we get started?
Book a strategy call. It is a working conversation to assess fit, not a sales pitch.
