NAPM-Twin Cities is a professional, non-profit association whose membership is dedicated to the advancement of purchasing materials management by providing educational opportunities, leadership development and interaction with others in the profession. To support professional standards, NAPM-Twin Cites provides a rich offering of meetings, courses and seminars.
Courses:
Introduction to Supply Management
Introductary class on all of the elements of the purchasing, logistics,
and material planning. Topics include negotiations, purchasing
law, contracts, ethics, and organizational issues.
Studies for C.P.M., Modules 1 through 4
These classes will consist of lectures, discussion, sample tests,
outside reading, and a few surprises. Students will need to spend
several hours per week outside of class in preparation, reading
and assignments. Participants will learn what is required to become
a C.P.M., how the C.P.M. exams were structured and developed,
how to maximize test performance, how to reduce "test-anxiety,"
what material will be covered on the tests, personal areas of
strength and weakness, and where to get further help. This course
has been broken down into four four-week sessions, with a break
between sessions to permit study and examination module-by-module,
increasing the likelihood for success.
