The SRM program is accessed online on the secure IACCM Learning Portal. The Practitioner Certification program is selfpaced and typically takes 3-6 months to complete. The next level of certification, the webinar-based Advanced Practitioner Certification program, takes approximately 12 months to complete. The programs can be taken individually or, for teams of 6 or more, as an exclusive corporate cohort. You will have up to 12 months to complete a program.
The journey to SRM Certification
- Register online - To join the program, you must be a paid IACCM Member (either individual or corporate). If you are not currently a Member, you can join as part of the registration process.
- Access the Secure IACCM Portal - For individuals, you will have access as soon as payment has been completed. For corporate programs, we will work with you to launch your program.
- Complete a Pre-assessment - You undertake a detailed online assessment that measures your skills and experience levels and typically takes 2-3 hours to complete. You must also specify a suitably qualified reviewer (typically your line manager or an acknowledged SRM Expert who is familiar with your work) to validate the assessment. Based on the results of your assessment you will be allocated a certification level:
- SRM Practitioner Certification – This program is comprised of learning modules, including audio and video presentations, mentored message boards, module tests and additional materials. Each module presentation runs for approximately 40 minutes and provides up to 2 hours of instruction when combined with the additional materials. The final exam is taken online. You will be given 2 hours to complete approximately 100 questions covering the full curriculum.
- SRM Advanced Practitioner Certification – This program is comprised of 8 individual tutorials which can be delivered in a classroom environment, or remotely via WebEx. Candidates will be required to submit course assignments (e.g stakeholder map, supplier scorecard, joint account plan etc), which will be assessed by an expert SRM panel to ensure it meets the required standard.
- SRM Expert Certification – Applicants wishing to achieve Expert Certification must first satisfy the requirements for Advanced Practitioner level Certification.
Following qualification for the program (based on a live strategic supplier case study) candidates will be required to demonstrate delivered business value through application of Advanced Practitioner Level learning objectives to the live supplier relationship. Throughout the Expert Programme candidates will be supported by regular coaching against a personal action plan. They will then be invited to present to an expert panel on the challenges and achievements realised through the implementation of SRM techniques and gain the benefit of personal feedback from the panel.
Success
When you successfully complete the training, you will be awarded the status of SRM Practitioner, Advanced Practitioner or Expert. Your certificate will be made available within 2 weeks of program completion and will be valid for 2 years.
You will be able to download one of the three badges associated with the program to list on your electronic signature and your online credentials.
Proceeding to the next level of certification
If you wish to advance to the next Certification level, you may apply no sooner than 1 year after the date of your current Certification award. Upon application, you will be requested to update your pre-assessment to verify eligibility for the next level of Certification.
Certification renewal
Certification renewal is required every 2 years from the date of certification. To continue to be certified, you must remain an active IACCM paid member and have completed the equivalent of 40 hours of continuing professional development (CPD) over the prior 2 year period. Learn more.
