I finished my CPOS Level 1 Certification in January of 2022. Right around that same time, the Purchasing Supervisor’s position became available. This certification completion could not have arrived at a more opportune time! I applied and was given the position, and this certification has already proven its worth in the short time I have been in my new role! It has sharpened my focus on challenges Procurement can influence, and the tools I have been provided through the program have been beneficial! I am looking forward to making a big impact with the company I work with! Thank you so much for what you have taught me, NLPA! I plan to continue my education through programs offered so get ready, because here I come!!

This course has exceeded my expectations. Every scenario or material delivered was based on all of my experiences in the procurement and contracting space over the past 20 years. The content was easily delivered in layman terms with 99.99% uptime system availability. Just excellent!

“NLPA’s self-paced program supports balancing work & study, with each level building upon the other across the SPSM body of knowledge.  My own experience completing the SPSM, SPSM2 and SPSM3 certifications enhanced the core value of ‘LEARN EVERYDAY’.”

The programs offered are well designed with current technology and easy to understand and follow. The purchasing certifications that NLPA offers not only met my own personal needs as a student but, has helped my educational institution educate and certify numerous students who are now getting positions in local industry because of these credentials.

NLPA focuses on the knowledge and skills that a purchasing professional needs to succeed in his or her daily job and presents all formulas and processes in the context of examples.

The very best features of the NLPA training program are: it’s online and convenient, it is user-friendly, the instructor and instructions are well-organized and resourceful, and the examples are real-world applications” of effective procurement techniques.

As a Lean Six Sigma Certified Professional, I found that this course is tremendously on target and simplifies complex issues in the Supply Chain. World-class and professionally put together, this course shows the Next Level Purchasing Association’s ability to produce Fortune 100-caliber classes.

Professional Purchasing Project Management is one of the best online courses that I have undertaken. The entire module is very well structured with excellent flow and explanations. With the number of projects that we all work on in the corporate sector, this is an excellent course that gives insight and learning on managing resources, timelines while we strive to meet the project deadlines.

I have worked in the procurement field for almost 30 years even with all my experience, I learned something new in every single course. The value this program has brought will benefit both me and my employer for years to come, and for that, I will be forever grateful. Thank you NLPA!

We have seen SPSM  as a change management tool to support our people to go on the journey to world-class procurement.
