5.0 I chose CPSCM™ to have a 360 degree overview on Procurement. Also, to meet the larger set of experienced professionals from all types of industries and understand the different ways of Procurement.

"Great Forum, Excellent Set Up, A Pure learning Platform, Need to know more about Team View and their other offerings for our Organization. GREAT Experience!"

With the case studies presented during the session, participants were able to relate real-life examples in business context, which in turn helped to understand the concepts thoroughly.

I have found CPSCM™ transformational with various real-life demos and cases. Great insights, very structured, and Competitors View is very responsive.

CPSCM™ is a world-renowned program. Omid is an absolutely fantastic trainer, clear on concepts, bringing different and unique perspectives.

We are happy to be associated with "Competitors View" and shall like to have further higher courses. All the arrangements made during the course was world-class.

CPSCM™ Certification has helped me in gaining extended knowledge on Procurement and I encourage Competitors View to organize more of these sessions for industry professionals.
