Build your career and gain professional status
Introducing the most comprehensive programme of education for the maritime industry covering purchasing and supply chain managment
Education remains a key priority for IMPA and the association has introduced the most comprehensive education programme in its history. The intention is that IMPA’s online course will provide procurement and supply chain management professionals with the credibility and status that other professional disciplines enjoy.
Brought to you by IMPA
Each course has been designed to be taken over a 12 month period and entirely on-line so that students can participate from all over the world studying when it’s convenient and possible for them. These days most organisations and academic bodies appreciate the need for flexibility in study as people look to develop their careers whilst balancing busy lifestyles.
Four courses are on offer beginning with certified buyer and leading up to registered procurement officer that will qualify successful candidates for special status within IMPA.
Stephen Alexander IMPA COO commented, “Gaining the prestigious qualification of registered procurement officer with IMPA will grant candidates a special position in the industry and a status previously unseen”
The programme will commence in September of this year with the first, level one course which is the ‘Certified IMPA Buyer’ programme ideally suited to new entrants and junior procurement officers.
Each course will culminate in the presentation of a certificate or diploma award at the annual event in either London or Singapore and candidates will be registered with IMPA on the IMPA website and in mt recognising their achievement and status.
“For the first time in the industry this high quality education programme offers recognised academic qualifications for maritime procurement and supply chain management.”
Rob C. Scharff, MSc. MBA. B Eng.
IMPA Vice President, Head of Education and Programme Designer
“ This new and exciting education programme offers professionals within the shipping industry an opportunity to study at an academic level to boost their career success. ”
