Fundamentals of Purchasing - Purchasing Fundamentals Hi. I'm Charles Dominick, the President of Next Level Purchasing. If you choose to improve your workplace performance and enhance your career by taking our online classes, I will make these three promises to you:
CHARLES' THREE PROMISES
  1. You will develop world-class supply management skills! Each major technique that you learn has been used to deliver measurable results in the real world for top-notch organizations. You'll learn how to apply these techniques to deliver those types of results to your organization.
  2. Your online learning experience will be more than just interactive - it will be PERSONAL! You'll engage in exercises and quizzes with immediate feedback and use our "Ask Charles!" feature to send an unlimited number of instant messages to me - your SPSM-certified instructor. I will personally respond to your questions by email within 24 hours. Sometimes within minutes! Even on weekends! You even have the option of requesting a FREE “Video Reply From Charles” delivered to you by email. It’s personal, face-to-face instruction whether you’re in the United States, Europe, Africa, or anywhere else in the world!
  3. You will have FUN! You’ll enjoy a truly rewarding experience as the reading material, audio clips, and exercises are lively and entertaining as well as educational. But don't just take it from me. Listen to what Matilde Waizer, a Purchasing Manager from Florida, had to say: "I am really enjoying the module and applying the knowledge acquired. It is fun and the information is easy to digest. Thank you!"
A great thing about this online class is that you are GUARANTEED to be able to apply what you learn to your work. That's right - your online learning experience is 100% risk-free.
