What students say:

"Course 3500, 'How To Buy Internationally,' was very informative and helpful. The files were all clear, and the screens were easy to navigate from. I will recommend this course to all of my entry to mid level buyers...especially those that have not bought globally."

The self-running online international buying courses are attended via the Internet. They require up to two or three continuous hours of attendance. Students are initially contacted by email with instructions on how to take the course for which they have registered. Students may attend the course at any time during the day. This makes the classes more convenient for students. All materials are included in the price of the course and will be available online while attending classes. These international trade courses are nonrefundable. Instructions for these courses are usually sent within a few days of registration. Normally, the Society likes to see these types of courses completed within a month of having sent out the instructions. If too much time elapses without a course being completed the student may have to register for it again.

It is each student's responsibility to contact the Society if instructions are not received within the time frames listed above. Failure to do so may result in additional fees. Students can contact the Society at 630-859-0250 or at propurch@propurch.com. See our International Certified Purchasing Professional lookup to find members that were recently certified.
