I had looked at various supply chain management courses but this one offered by CMI allowed me to study online and do exams from wherever I wanted. As I live in Kerry, I was able to study the textbooks, attend the online classes and do the exam remotely. This really suited my current hectic home and work schedule.

This advanced diploma in purchase management was very enjoyable and I enjoyed the online classes and group work. This purchasing management course was well spaced out and not crammed and definitely doable for busy people like me. I found the team at CMI always very helpful. If you need to do a supply chain management course, then consider this one first.
