Overview

College Diploma in Business - Purchasing

Do you like to spend other people's money? Influence and enable decisions? Then a career in Purchasing may be for you! 

This two-year purchasing program at Conestoga College is designed to prepare the graduate for a professional career in the growing supply chain and logistics management field. 

The central theme in the program curriculum is the total cost of ownership. 

Businesses today are under unprecedented competitive pressures from around the world. 

The Business - Purchasing diploma program develops graduates with the skills necessary to contribute to their organisations' cost management, adaptability and quality efforts, thereby ensuring a competitive advantage and long-term profitability.

An agreement exists with Supply Chain Canada that provides advanced standing in the Supply Chain Management Professional (SCMP) designation program. 

In addition, graduates may qualify for transfer credits that could be used for exemption from specific components of the CSCMP graduate program. 

They may also write the first CPIM (Certified in Production Inventory Management) exam towards their certification through ASCM (the professional Association for Supply Chain Management). 

Graduates can receive exemptions from the business course requirements within the Certified Logistics Professional designation (CCLP) program, administered by CITT (Canadian Institute of Traffic and Transportation). 

Graduates receive full credit toward completing the Business Administration - Supply Chain and Operations Management three-year advanced diploma should they wish to complete it. 

Are you interested in taking this program on a part-time basis? It's possible to complete this program while still working full time and fulfilling your other commitments.
