Certified Professional in Supply Management (CPSM)

The current evolution of the procurement and supply management profession dictates that a strategic level qualification is needed for professionals to effectively implement innovative supply strategies throughout their entire organization. The Institute for Supply Management™ (ISM) ( www.ism.ws ) expects that the Certified Professional in Supply Management (CPSM) will be the credential that supply management professionals strive to obtain. The CPSM will be relevant internationally and reflect the expanded education, skills, abilities and experience needed to be a successful supply management professional.

The benefits of obtaining the CPSM credential will enable professionals to demonstrate a clear understanding of their organization’s procurement and supply operation, enabling them as managers to take an active role in critical decisions.

The CPSM will be a milestone for those professionals who take ownership of their career. Surveys indicate those with professional credentials report higher annual compensation than those without certification. Pursuing your CPSM qualification is your chance to leverage your knowledge and experience into career advancement.

Criteria for the CPSM qualification:

• 3 years full-time, professional supply management experience (non clerical, nonsupport)
• Bachelors’ degree from a regionally accredited institution or international equivalent
• Pass 3 Exams OR if you are a C.P.M. in good standing, pass the Bridge Exam
