Hello every one welcome to modal
Unlike most other programs, the NIGP-CPP does not require any specific procurement classes or training to be eligible. This means greater flexibility for you on how best to prepare for your exam without required mandates from NIGP.
NIGP offers 5 paths towards certification for those who have never been certified. Choose the one that best applies to you. All 5 paths require you take the Comprehensive Exam.
