Now Accepting C.P.M. Bridge Applications
April 14, 2006 - With a newly revised
Certification Handbook and
Application the Universal Public Purchasing Council (UPPCC) is now able
to accept applications from C.P.M. certificants interested in bridging
effective immediately. The Council announced on March 1, 2006 that it would be
offering a bridging process for current C.P.M. certificants to the UPPCC public
sector certifications.
Individuals wishing to achieve the CPPO (Certified Public Purchasing Officer)
or CPPB (Certified Professional Public Buyer) certifications through the UPPCC
bridge must hold a valid and current C.P.M. certification and meet all
applicable eligibility requirements. The bridging opportunity acknowledges a
candidate's previous testing experience through the C.P.M. and desires only to
test the individual public sector application of the procurement cycle which is
unique to UPPCC certifications. C.P.M. certificants bridging to CPPB will be
required to take an abbreviated written examination. Those bridging to CPPO
will not be required to take the written portion, but will only be required to
take the oral examination.
Council staff has developed a list of Frequently
Asked Questions to assist interested C.P.M. certificants in navigating
the bridging process. Bridge examinations will be offered from August 1, 2006
through December 31, 2008. |
