Two points about public buying in Oman may shape your choice.

- OQ allocated over RO 2.2 billion to procurement between 2020 and the third quarter of 2024, and about 73 percent was spent with local suppliers. If you manage supplier agreements for a company like OQ, ask an advisor how your contracts work fits the course audience.

Which course should you choose instead of the CICCM?
Choose by what you do most each week.

- Weekly hours. Decide how many hours you can protect each week. The course page lists about 50 hours of study, so ask an advisor how the two fit.
- Busy periods. Check your own calendar for deadlines and travel. An advisor can tell you what to expect from the course schedule.
- Exam timing. The exam comes at the end of the program, so ask an advisor how to book it once you finish.

Training a team in Oman: what to ask your employer
If you lead a contracts or procurement team, send a corporate enquiry. List the roles on your team and the format you prefer.
Oman's labor plans include replacement initiatives in oil, gas, logistics and tourism. If your company works in one of those sectors, ask HR whether a training plan for Omani staff already exists, and whether a contracts course could be added to it.
Send each person's current tasks with the enquiry, and an advisor can say which course fits each role.
