Herndon, VA, June 3, 2024 – The NIGP Certified Procurement Professional (NIGP-CPP) certification program has not only become the most sought-after certification for leaders in public procurement, but it’s now only the second procurement and contracting certification (NIGP and the National Contract Management Association [NCMA]) to ever achieve accreditation by the ANSI National Accreditation Board (ANAB), the most prestigious personnel certification accreditation program worldwide.
The NIGP-CPP is the only certification managed and administered through NIGP. What sets the NIGP-CPP apart from all others is that it’s a competency-based certification anchored in the Public Procurement Competency Framework that utilizes a scenario-based, modular exam to assess the technical competencies, skills, abilities, and behaviors required of procurement leaders.
When the Institute began to develop the NIGP-CPP in 2019, we built the program in consideration of the rigorous standards established by the ANSI National Accreditation Board and ISO 17024 Requirements. By earning ANAB’s accreditation, the achievement validates that our certification, attained by more than 1,400 procurement leaders throughout North America, meets those standards. We recognize that standards are critically important to the public procurement community which frequently incorporates ANSI and ISO standards in bid specifications and assessments.
