Read this page in Arabic: اقرأ بالعربية
The Certified International Procurement Manager (CIPM) from IPSCMI is the manager level step on the IPSCMI procurement ladder, which runs from CIPP to CIPM and on to the consultant level CIPC. It is built for procurement managers, senior buyers, category leads and supply managers who already run a team or a spend category and want an international credential that says so. In Egypt we see it most in large groups, multinationals with sourcing hubs in Cairo, contractors, and pharma and FMCG category teams.

Frequently asked questions
Who should take CIPM rather than CIPP?
CIPM suits people who already manage buyers, a category or a supply base and have several years of procurement experience. If you are still building hands on buying skills, CIPP is the better first step, and you can move up afterwards.
What does the CIPM program cover?
Strategic procurement, category management, supplier relationship management, contract management, negotiation strategy, risk, procurement performance and leadership of procurement teams. Assessment is through the academy at the end of the program.
How much does CIPM cost in Egypt?
At the time of writing, CIPM is EGP 35,699 self paced, discounted from the standard EGP 45,899, or EGP 45,900 live online or classroom. The fee is all inclusive, so there is no separate exam charge.
What comes after CIPM?
The IPSCMI ladder continues to the Certified International Procurement Consultant (CIPC). Many Egyptian managers also pair CIPM with contracts training such as CICCM, which we list on this page.
