Success on course in Thailand

There is "terrific potential" in Thailand for CIPS education programmes at Levels 5 and 6.

That is the opinion of CIPS educational consultant Bill Tipping who recently completed a Level 5 advanced diploma workshop for trainers with the Purchasing and Supply Chain Management Association of Thailand (PSCMT). Since 2003 the institutes have been working in partnership to promote good practice and raise the profile of professional purchasing in Thailand through the delivery of CIPS education programmes. The PSCMT has already trained students at certificate and advanced certificate levels. Tipping, who led the Level 5 advanced diploma workshop, praised the knowledge of the 16 delegates: "To say it went very well is an understatement."

Sheila White, CIPS membership and education relationship manager, added: "This successful workshop will play a key part in ensuring the highest standards of delivery for CIPS qualifications."
