How to Choose a Certification Program That’s Right for You
Each SIG University certification program covers a variety of different competencies and skills. The programs are a good fit for experienced procurement or risk leaders to stay on top of evolving best practices as well as professionals without a background in sourcing, procurement, or risk management. Many procurement or risk leaders put their entire department through a certification program to develop a common language and encourage team building.
Each program is led by faculty with subject-matter expertise and industry experience. Students will learn from real-world examples and engage in weekly discussion forums that deepen their understanding of the subjects covered in each module.
Below you will find an overview of each program. Our educational advisors can help you choose the right program for yourself, your team or help you determine how to split your team between the programs based on their roles.
