Continuing Education
The National Institute of Governmental Purchasing (NIGP) is recognized by the
UPPCC as a provider of quality education for public procurement professionals.
UPPCC recommends many of the NIGP Textbooks as recommended
text for exam preparation. NIGP also offers intensive 3-day
courses for many of their textbooks which includes the textbooks recommended by
UPPCC for exam preparation. Although NIGP coursework is not required to achieve
certification it is one opportunity to review and/or re-inforce your individual
understanding of the Body of Knowledge. NIGP also offers CPPO and CPPB
informational webinars and review courses. For information on NIGP available
courses,

In addition to NIGP, the UPPCC recognizes the following industry organizations
as suppliers of quality procurement education. It is important to use the Body
of Knowledge when choosing education for your exam preparation needs. You
should choose educational products that work to reinforce the topic found in
the Body of Knowledge for the program that you are pursuing. As the exam
questions are secured at all times and not shared with any organization,
private entity or individual, use caution when selecting programs that claim to
address actual CPPB and/or CPPO test questions.
