Ready to start achieving better spare parts inventory management?
This short guide will help you to get started.
How Does Studying Online Work?
Enrolling in a program or course unlocks access to the content for that program or course. You can then study wherever you have access to the Internet. There are no classes to attend and you can study at your own pace. The only limitation is that there is a set time limit for the completion of each program or course.
Your material and presentation is very clear and easy to understand and I have learned so much. I wasn’t trained to manage an inventory but have grown into this position.

What Time Commitment is Required?
All of our training allows you to study at your own pace, the only limitation is the maximum time allowed to complete each module, course, or program. See individual pages for details.
Generally, we recommend a minimum time commitment of 2 hours per week.
Studying at this rate will enable you to complete the training within the allocated time and leave some time for review.
Of course, if you have time, you can work through the content faster than that. The choice is yours.
What About Continuing Professional Development and CPD Hours?

- The Chartered Institute for Procurement and Supply (CIPS)
- Australasian Supply Chain Institute (ASCI)
- Chartered Institute of Logistics and Transport (CILT)
