I've just completed the Purchasing and Procurement Management course at Stanmore School of Business, and I'm pleased to say that it was a worthwhile investment of my time and money. As a procurement specialist in Spain, I was looking for a course that would give me a deeper understanding of the procurement function and its role in the organization. The course was well-structured and easy to follow, with a clear and concise presentation of the key concepts and principles. I appreciated the fact that the course included a range of practical tools and techniques, such as procurement planning templates and contract management checklists. The instructor was knowledgeable and helpful, and the online platform was convenient and user-friendly. One of the things that I found most useful about the course was the discussion forum, where I could interact with other students and share experiences and ideas. Overall, I'm satisfied with the course and would recommend it to others who are looking to improve their procurement skills. My only suggestion for improvement would be to include more examples and case studies from the European region, as some of the content was more focused on the US and other markets.
