This nationally recognised course focuses on the skills to manage the procurement function within an agency, or to develop agency policies, processes and procurement capability.

Who this is for

This course is suitable for experienced procurement professionals seeking to develop the skills and knowledge required to lead strategic and complex procurements, provide specialist advice, and to manage procurement and contracting functions in the NSW public sector.

This training forms part of the recommended training pathway for NSW public sector procurement professionals.

Face-to-face training

The PSP60616 Advanced Diploma of Procurement and Contracting program runs over 9 days (3 x 3 consecutive days).

The program involves assessment, which encompasses in-class group work and work-based tasks completed outside of the class sessions.

The time required to complete work-based assessment tasks will vary depending on your experience and access to relevant workplace evidence. As a guide, expect to spend up to 140 hours for the Advanced Diploma, due to the greater emphasis on strategic thinking, leadership, and complex procurement processes.

Participants who successfully complete the course will be awarded a nationally recognised qualification and may be eligible to apply for exemptions qualifications from CIPS Advanced Diploma in Procurement and Supply modules.

  • develop organisational procurement plans
