"The content and curriculum of Nstitute's Certified Vendor Management Professional (NCVMP) program is very impressive and covers TPRM from A to Z. I've been working in TPRM for several years and came away with new knowledge and a deeper understanding. If someone is new to TPRM, they will gain subject matter expertise that may have taken years to develop otherwise."
