Obtaining a Certified Professional Public Buyer (CPPB) or Certified Public Purchasing Officer (CPPO) designation demonstrates a standard of competency in the public purchasing profession.
CPPB and CPPO designations indicate to the public that, having mastered a body of knowledge, one can make sound decisions that reflect maximum value for the taxpayers' dollar.
Many local and state governments formally recognize the CPPB and CPPO designations as meaningful standards for employment and advancement of public procurement personnel.
