BRIDGE EXAM DEADLINE

Right now, Certified Purchasing Managers (C.P.M.s) have an advantage:

Active C.P.M.s only need to take one Bridge Exam, instead of three separate

exams, to become a Certified Professional in Supply Management®

(CPSM®). Any active C.P.M. may apply for a CPSM

®, as there is no longer

a requirement for holding a degree. In addition to being a C.P.M. in good

standing and passing the Bridge Exam, candidates must have five years of

professional supply management experience or three years of professional

experience plus a bachelor's degree (or international equivalent).

Don't miss out: The Bridge Exam registration deadline is coming up fast.

The last day you can register for the Bridge Exam is December 31, 2014.

You have one year from the date of purchase, or December 31, 2015, to take

your exam, whichever comes first. ISM® will no longer offer the CPSM

®

Bridge Exam after December 31, 2015. Beginning in 2015, C.P.M.s will

need to pass three exams to obtain the CPSM® certification. If you have

questions about the CPSM®

Exams or the Bridge Exam, please visit the ISM

Certification website, www.ism.ws/certification, or email

certification@ism.ws.

“Supply management professionals understand the role that outsourcing

has in their organizations, including an increased ROI. They understand

that a dollar saved on incoming parts and services can have a more
