Instructor-Led Procurement Certificate Starting in September

The ASCM Wisconsin Chapter is offering an Instructor-Led Supply Chain Procurement Certificate for the first time this Fall 2025. All ASCM Certificates are available as self-study in the chapter’s online store. ASCM Certificates are a great way to try ASCM education at a lower cost with less time commitment than our APICS Certification Programs.

Class time over Zoom is 5 hours over 4 weeks. The online learning system is estimated to take 18 to 20 hours to complete. To earn the certificate, students must pass the test in the learning system. Retakes are unlimited, which means anyone who puts the work in can earn the Certificate.

The Procurement Certificate covers all the terminology needed to talk about the procurement field both tactically and strategically. The program covers the purchase order flow and steps in the purchasing process. Students also learn about negotiation, sourcing strategies, and contract terms and conditions.

Sustainability and ethical sourcing are covered, as well as procurement evaluation and metrics. This includes details on how to develop supplier scorecards that tie into organizational objectives.

Students completing the Supply Chain Certificate program will add more value to their organizations through understanding how their role contributes value and equipping them with the knowledge to do so.
