| Criteria | This Course CPPM Course |
Alternative 1 Self-Study Only |
Alternative 2 General Business / MBA Degree |
|---|---|---|---|
| Primary focus | Specialized in purchasing and procurement management (CPPM) with strategic leadership emphasis. | Unstructured learning depending on chosen books and resources. | Broad business topics with limited procurement depth. |
| Best suited for | Procurement and supply chain professionals targeting managerial and leadership roles. | Highly self-driven learners comfortable designing their own CPPM study plan. | Candidates seeking a broad management qualification rather than a procurement certification. |
| Exam structure | APS CPPM exam with defined format, syllabus and passing criteria supported by structured coaching. | Same APS exam but without guided preparation or institutional support. | University-style exams spread across semesters, not linked to APS CPPM. |
| Time to complete | Can typically be completed in months with focused training and exam planning. | Often longer due to trial-and-error approach and lack of clear roadmap. | Usually 1–2 years or more depending on degree structure. |
| Career outcomes | Strong fit for procurement manager, sourcing manager and supply chain leadership roles. | Depends on how effectively you self-study and demonstrate skills to employers. | Provides broad business exposure but less specialised signalling for procurement roles. |
