Participants should ideally have at least two years of experience in procurement, tenders, or contract administration. A basic understanding of commercial purchasing workflows or legal principles is beneficial.

How long is each day's session, and is there a total number of hours required for the entire course?

Each day consists of 4 to 5 hours of instruction, structured discussions, and practical exercises. The complete ten-day course provides between 45 and 50 instructional hours.

How This Course is Different

This program addresses the entire commercial lifecycle by linking sourcing strategy, formal tender rules, and legal contract management into one coherent workflow.
