The procurement certification program reflects the growing role and responsibilities of purchasing staff and aims to increase knowledge and improve skills in purchasing to implement improved purchasing practices.

It is a professional competency based training course that will develop the skill levels of people in  purchasing roles and that provides a pathway for career progression.

Students completing training and assessment through NSW Procurement Certification Training Program can also obtain significant credits towards competencies contained in the Public Sector Training Package (PSP04) and Business Services Training Package qualifications, effective from 2007.

Courses are open to staff of all Government agencies and other organisations registered to use Government Contracts. Although course materials reflect NSW policy and legislation, the core of the program imparts best practice processes that can be used in any organisation.

Experienced, registered trainers and guest speakers deal with issues such as purchasing methods, procurement policies, probity and ethical practices, making the courses a great way to update skills and knowledge of procurement practices and build networks with others involved in purchasing and procurement.
