Certification
Certification is the mark of a dedicated professional, and CAPPO encourages all current members to achieve purchasing certification. Certification is a personal and professional investment of tremendous value to the buyer and their employer. CAPPO's educational programs help members work toward the most widely recognized professional certification programs available.
CERTIFICATION INCENTIVE PROGRAM (CPPB, CPPO, CPSD, CPSM or NIGP-CPP)*
CAPPO has a long history of supporting and encouraging members to obtain certification in the purchasing field. To further entice our current and active members to achieve this valuable goal, CAPPO has instituted a Certification Incentive Program. For each recognized certification a current member achieves, they may receive $100.
The certification must have been obtained no more than six months prior to submitting the application and a copy of the certificate must accompany the application. The applicant must be a current member in good standing at the time of submission.

Certified individuals are issued a certificate attesting that they have met the standards of the credentialing organization and are entitled to make the public aware of their credentialed status, through the use of initials after their name and in all forms of address. The UPPCC offers the CPPB and CPPO designations.
