SIG University announces courses for sourcing, outsourcing and procurement professionals focused on third party risk
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (PRWEB) July 24, 2018 -- SIG University, a comprehensive, online certification curriculum focused on strategic sourcing, governance practices and methodologies today announces the launch of the Certified Third-Party Risk Management Professional (C3PRMP) curriculum.
SIG University was created at the request of SIG members, who saw an educational training gap in today's workforce. The University has been educating students in Sourcing and Supply Management over the past 2 ½ years through two certification programs, including Certified Sourcing Professional (CSP) and Certified Supply Management Professional (CSMP). This latest certification program, delivered over an eight-week period, is the second phase in rounding out an entire curriculum focused on Governance, Risk and Compliance.
The CSP course is administered over a 12-week period, while the CSMP is a more condensed program that takes five weeks to complete. Each of the three certifications is valid for five years, and is delivered in a modular format with lessons, assessments and quizzes to test mastery of subject matter. In addition, SIG University students have access to one of the largest banks of available sourcing data in the U.S. through the SIG Resource Center, which houses over 5,000 tools, templates, methodologies, processes, whitepapers and archived presentations.
SIG University is currently enrolling students for the September 24th semester, which is the last semester in 2018. Closed cohorts are available outside this dates for companies enrolling 25 or more students simultaneously. Discounts are available for students and/or companies who enroll before August 27th.
“We worked with some of the most knowledgeable practitioners in the risk space to develop this curriculum. It is thorough and based on real situations,” Said Dawn Tiura, SIG CEO and President. “Let’s face it, working with outside vendors introduces risk to every organization. Experiencing a data breach is a foregone conclusion. The question is not if it will happen—the question is how prepared your organization is to protect the company when it happens.”
