In August, Martin completed all six Senior Professional in Supply Management<sup><span style=\"font-size: 78%\">\u00ae<\/span><\/sup> Program classes and passed the SPSM<sup><span style=\"font-size: 78%\">\u00ae<\/span><\/sup> Certification Exam!<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><i>\u201cI work as an independent procurement consultant and advise my clients mainly on how to improve their sourcing processes. As part of my job I need to continuously demonstrate that I have the right knowledge and skills to do the job. That\u2019s why I joined the SPSM<sup><span style=\"font-size: 78%\">\u00ae<\/span><\/sup> Certification Program. Having completed my SPSM<sup><span style=\"font-size: 78%\">\u00ae<\/span><\/sup> Certification, I can now demonstrate that I am educated in all aspects of purchasing. I have decided to finish my SPSM<sup><span style=\"font-size: 78%\">\u00ae<\/span><\/sup> Program as soon as possible and had to dedicate lot of evenings for learning. It was, however, time well spent as the SPSM<sup><span style=\"font-size: 78%\">\u00ae<\/span><\/sup> courses bring extensive amount of information from the field. I enjoyed each and every course, printed out all materials, listened to the audio and went through the extra material to each of the courses as well. This helped me to understand the topics in more depth and also helped me to better remember a lot of the information.<\/i><\/p>\n<p>If you want to earn your SPSM<sup><span style=\"font-size: 78%\">\u00ae<\/span><\/sup> Certification quickly, you do need to devote a significant amount of your time, but I definitely say it is worth it and do not regret a single second that I spent with the courses. And, thanks to the quality of the materials, I return to the courses regularly when looking for my inspiration.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td colspan=\"2\" align=\"middle\">\n<div style=\"text-align: left\">Next Level Purchasing and the procurement community around the world congratulate Martin and his dedication to having a more successful purchasing career!<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Every month, the Next Level Purchasing Association (NLPA) recognizes a [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":12,"featured_media":4003,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3114","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-procurement"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v19.13 -
