PSP50616 Diploma of Procurement and Contracting

 

The Diploma is particularly suited to people with management responsibility (or those wishing to progress into management) for procurement and contracting including coordinated procurement across the whole-of-government.  You will also learn how to plan, finalise and manage the process and how to use complex workplace communication strategies and manage the whole supply chain.

This qualification trains competencies required for independent and self-directed work as a procurement and contract manager in the public sector. It provides a base on which to build advanced procurement and contracting capabilities by integrating technical and theoretical concepts in a broad range of contexts.
