As I do on the first blogging day of each month, I will now share the countries who have seen their first SPSM’s certified in the previous month. Despite the holiday season, in December, three countries joined the scores of other nations that have SPSM-certified professionals: Cameroon, the Czech Republic, and Norway.

The end of 2008 corresponded with an important industry deadline that will likely serve to accelerate the global spread of the SPSM^® Certification. Come back on Monday (Jan. 5, 2009) for more coverage of this important shift.

Hi Ralph,
We have not yet awarded the first SPSM in the Philippines yet. However, on December 3, one of our students from that area completed the sixth course of the Senior Professional in Supply Management Program.

Upon passing the SPSM Exam (which he has not yet taken) and submitting the certification application, he will become the first SPSM in that area unless someone else completes the requirements sooner.

Hi Lens,
Even though we have SPSM’s in 60 countries and a large number of students in Haiti, as of March 11, 2011, no one from Haiti has completed the program and gone on to become SPSM-Certified.

Perhaps you could be the first!
