What is third-party risk management training?
It teaches procurement and supply chain professionals how to evaluate suppliers for security, compliance, and operational risk, and how to monitor those risks over time.
Some of our students come from various sectors such as Banking, Logistics, and State Owned Enterprises, where teams often benefit from CIPS training that enhances procurement efficiency, reduces risks, and helps manage supplier relationships effectively through corporate procurement training across CIPS Levels 2–6 for groups of ten or more students. Our prominent customers include Sasfin Bank, Health System Trust, BP Southern Africa, Lesotho Highlands Development Authority, Afrirent Holdings, Trans-Africa Projects, Komatsu Africa Holdings (Pty) Ltd, Industrial Fire & Hazard Control, and North West Housing Corporation.
We understand that our students are ambitious individuals seeking to advance their careers, whether they study with us in South Africa or at our CIPS Study Centre in Lagos for procurement training. They want to learn practical skills that elevate confidence and support long-term progression in a procurement career. Training in ESG criteria is essential for responsible sourcing in procurement. They are typically working in challenging roles and are looking for a provider who can assist them in navigating the curriculum, understanding theory in a practical African context, and preparing them for examinations and workplace.
