Getting Certified: Purchasing Managers Want To Know How Long It Will Take

On the Web page describing the Senior Professional in Supply Management (SPSM) Certification, we list a table showing the length of time it will take a purchasing manager to become certified based on the amount of time s/he is able to dedicate to study.

I felt that it would be helpful to share some statistics regarding the length of time it is actually taking individuals to complete the SPSM Certification Program and earning their purchasing certification. Here they are:

Average time it has taken SPSM's to earn their certification: 139 days

Shortest amount of time it has taken an SPSM to earn certification: 71 days
