Course Objective
The Specialist Diploma in Digital Procurement course equips students with sound knowledge and foundation for digital procurement practice in an organisation. This course comprises 3 modules:
• One taught module of Purchasing Management (PM)
• One digital module of Digital Procurement (DP)
• One module of Research Project (RP) that will require students to undertake a project focusing on the digital procurement practices in organisations.
Delivery and Assessment
Our faculty comprises highly experienced practitioners with the requisite academic and professional qualifications. The Digital Learning module provides flexibility for students to learn at their own pace, and after completing the learning videos they will take an online examination.
The Research Project module requires students to attend regular class sessions so that they can be closely guided to complete the project requirements. In this module, students are assessed on two assignments and a short presentation. In the taught module, students will sit for an examination at the end of the module. Students are also expected to search relevant websites for the purposes of learning and research.
