Procure to Pay (P2P) Manager (Exam Cost Included)

As businesses increasingly focus on efficiency and cost-cutting, the need for knowledgeable procure-to-pay (P2P) professionals who can streamline procurement and AP continues to grow. Supply chain disruptions have also intensified the spotlight on procurement as a critical area for improvement. Skilled P2P professionals can deliver cost savings and a competitive edge to their employers by streamlining necessary business functions and improving operational efficiency. Additionally, the market for procurement software is projected to grow significantly in the coming years, which will require highly skilled individuals who understand the P2P process and the role of rapidly evolving technology within it.

Our P2P training program is designed to equip you with the skills necessary to lead an aligned procurement/AP function, including change management and transitioning to P2P, benchmarking, and automation. Upon completing the P2P certification course, you will be prepared to take a 90-minute, 100-question multiple-choice exam to demonstrate your ability to manage the P2P process and earn the Accredited Procure-to-Pay Manager (APPM) designation from the Institute of Finance and Management (IOFM).
