The Universal Public Purchasing Certification Council (UPPCC) Examinations
measure professional competence and the understanding of the body of knowledge
surrounding public procurement. Certification is a voluntary action by a
professional group to establish a system to grant recognition to professionals
who have met a stated level of training and work experience.
Certified individuals are issued a certificate attesting that they have met the
standards of the credentialing organization and are entitled to make the public
aware of their credentialed status, through the use of initials after their
name and in all forms of address. The UPPCC offers the CPPB and CPPO
designations.
