What Does The SPSM2 Certification Mean To The Purchasing Professional?
Ah, we are at the end of an historic day in which the groundbreaking SPSM2 Certification was announced. So this will be the last post on the SPSM2 and we will return to regular programming on this blog tomorrow.
Let me put something bluntly: In the purchasing and supply management profession, there are individuals regarded as top talent and there is everyone else.
In which category do you belong?
With the introduction of the SPSM2 Certification, the gap between the profession's top talent and everyone else is getting wider by the day. It has become easier for hiring companies, bosses, suppliers, and industry observers to know where you fit on the purchasing and supply management food chain.
So, if you have already earned the SPSM® Certification, you are eligible to pursue the SPSM2 Certification and maintain your place among the elite in the profession. To learn more about continuing towards the SPSM2, visit http://www.NextLevelPurchasing.com/spsm2.html
If you haven't begun your pursuit of the SPSM® Certification yet, there is no better time than now. If you're serious about your career, don't be left behind. Learn how to get started towards your SPSM® Certification at http://www.NextLevelPurchasing.com/spsm.html.
The purchasing and supply management world is different today than it was yesterday. The standards for being the best are continually rising. Being the best you can be is a lifelong journey. If you are not putting forth the effort to stay ahead, the profession will pass you by.
And if you are putting forth the effort to stay ahead, you will be recognized for being head and shoulders above the rest.

Charles,
I think the SPSM2 certification is a great idea.
What are the recertification requirements once an SPSM2 is acheived?
Thanks for the question.
Recertification for the SPSM2 is the same as it is for the SPSM. Certifying and recertifying as an SPSM2 automatically recertifies you as an SPSM. Here are the requirements:
Recertification is required every four years. Recertification involves earning 32 Continuing Education Hours in purchasing and supply management topics from approved sources. Pre-approved sources include Next Level Purchasing, the National Contract Management Association, the Institute for Supply Management, and the American Production and Inventory Control Society. Other sources will be considered on a case-by-case basis. Recertification involves submitting an application and a nominal processing fee.
