Competency Assurance (NOCA) and follows the NOCA guidelines for credentialing. C. CERTIFICATION OFFERINGS The Universal Public Purchasing Certification Council program is applicable to all public purchasing personnel in federal, state and local governmental organizations and agencies. Two distinctly different credentials are offered by the UPPCC, the Certified Public Purchasing Officer (CPPO) and the Certified Professional Public Buyer (CPPB). CPPB PROGRAM The CPPB level applies to individuals who have demonstrated prescribed levels of professional competency as a buyer in public and governmental purchasing. The CPPB certification does not include a requirement for supervisory and/or managerial experience as does the CPPO. CPPO PROGRAM The CPPO level applies to individuals holding supervisory and/or managerial positions within a public agency. These individuals may or may not be performing the purchasing for the governmental entity, but do either supervise a staff of buyers, the purchasing department, the agency, etc. or manage a minimum of one essential function of the procurement cycle (i.e. contracting). D. HOW TO BECOME CERTIFIED The UPPCC certification programs are two-part processes in which the applicant must first demonstrate eligibility via an application and then successfully complete an examination covering the essential knowledge and functions performed in public procurement. UPPCC certification examinations are administered twice per year (May & October) via computer at approximately 400 professional testing centers located throughout the United States and in Canada. To become certified by the UPPCC, you must complete the following steps: Review the eligibility criteria and determine which certification program and eligibility schedule best aligns with your personal qualifications. Complete the application and return it along with required documentation and certification payment to the UPPCC by published application deadline that corresponds with your desired testing window. Allow 4-6 weeks for the UPPCC to review the application. All applicants are notified via their preferred method of communication (see Section I, Part D of the application form). If approved, register for the appropriate examination directly with Prometric. Complete the appropriate examination. Allow 6-8 weeks following the end of the testing window for examination scoring and notification of results. UPPCC Official Candidate Handbook for Certification 2008 Edition • Page 5 of 26 Upon successful completion of the certification examination, a certificate and certification lapel pin will be forwarded to you. Recertify every five (5) years to maintain certification. II. APPLYING FOR CERTIFICATION A. ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS The UPPCC programs are designed specifically for public procurement professionals. Only those individuals who have full-time public purchasing experience are eligible. The applicant’s eligibility is determined by evaluating the candidate in 3 areas: Work experience Coursework in procurement; and Formal education Unlike most purchasing-related certification programs, the UPPCC requires substantial work experience in purchasing of which must include a minimum of two (2) years in a public setting. The work experience must be complemented by procurement coursework and/or training specifically in procurement. ELIGIBILITY SCHEDULES To determine the appropriate combination of requisites for each certification based on the applicant’s formal education level, the UPPCC established a series of eligibility schedules. To determine the appropriate schedule, the applicant must first choose the certification program for which he/she will apply and then select the appropriate Schedule (A, B, C or D) that matches his/her personal educational background. The coursework and experience requirements listed in the selected schedule are the requirements that the applicant must demonstrate via the application process. Applicants must meet all requirements at the time of application. Please note that the UPPCC reserves the right to modify these schedules periodically in order to reflect the changing requirements of the profession. FORMAL EDUCATION Formal education is one factor used in determining eligibility, but college coursework or the completion of a formal degree program is not a requirement to become certified as a CPPB or a CPPO. Applicants that do not currently hold a formal degree will be required to demonstrate more hours of coursework and more years of purchasing experience than their degreed counterparts in order to qualify. Non-degreed applicants for the CPPO must first earn the CPPB certification under Schedule A. Experience and coursework requirements decrease as the applicant’s level of formal education increases. For example, an applicant for CPPB certification with only a high-school education is required to meet 5 years of purchasing experience and 96 hours of coursework compared to a Bachelors degreed applicant that requires only two (2) years of experience and 48 hours of coursework.
Applicants who hold a degree must provide an official transcript sealed by the university along with the application in order to document a conferred degree. Applicants may also be able to earn credit for college level coursework towards meeting the UPPCC coursework requirement (please refer to the Coursework / Training Section for details). There is currently no time limitation on how long ago the course was taken or the degree was earned in order to qualify towards meeting the eligibility requirements. The applicant must however be able to supply documentation as proof of satisfactory completion and all documentation must be submitted in English. If the applicant’s documentation is in a language other than English, he/she may seek translation services of the original documents. The official document translation must accompany the original documentation.

UPPCC does not accept degree equivalents of UPPCC Official Candidate Handbook for Certification 2008 Edition • Page 6 of 26 the specific degrees described in the eligibility schedules unless certified as equivalent by a reputable educational research firm. COURSEWORK/TRAINING Higher Education Level: Applicants may apply formal coursework completed at the higher education level, either in conjunction or not in conjunction with an earned degree, toward meeting the coursework requirement. There is no time limitation for the completion of coursework. Applicants may go back as far as needed to meet the coursework requirements as long as the coursework can be properly documented and successfully completed by the applicant. Unlike other coursework and training (provided by procurement organizations such as NIGP) taken that must be on a specific procurement topic in order to qualify, the UPPCC allows credit for college/university level courses that are related to purchasing in addition to purchasing specific courses. To earn credit for any courses taken at the higher education level, the applicant is required to provide an official transcript sealed by the college/university. Additionally, the applicant must have earned a passing mark in the course in order for the course to qualify for credit toward certification. The following is a listing of college/university level courses that have been pre-approved by the UPPCC Board of Examiners (BOE) as fulfilling the purchasing-related coursework requirements: Accounting Courses: General accounting, cost accounting, managerial accounting Contracting Courses: Contract administration, negotiations and/or management, cost/price analysis Economics Courses: Managerial, macro, micro Ethics Courses: Business or professional ethics Finance Courses: Business or governmental Legal Courses: Business law, contract law, government contract law, legal environment of business Management Courses: Organizational theory and behavior, public administration, project management Personnel Courses: Personnel management, performance appraisal, employee development Purchasing and Materials Management Courses: purchasing, materials, inventory control Transportation Courses: Physical distribution, traffic management, logistics Other Educational Providers: The UPPCC shares an alliance with NIGP, NASPO, CAPPO, FAPPO, IFPSM, ISM, NAEP, NCMA, NPI, PMAC as collegial associations serving the procurement community and is familiar with the education and training products that these organizations provide. The UPPCC accepts procurement training sponsored and/or delivered by these organizations. For more information on these organizations and to explore educational opportunities offered by these organizations, please see Appendix D of this Handbook. Acceptable coursework and training is not limited to that which is offered exclusively by these organizations. The UPPCC accepts hours for all coursework and training offered regardless of the organization, providing the course/training covers a purchasing topic.
