Take advantage of the unique opportunities for continued education, professional growth, certifications, and a network of colleagues and friends that a NPI membership can provide.
VIPS - or Virtual Interactive Procurement Seminars - were introduced by the National Purchasing Institute in 2003 to provide members with valuable training opportunities and a convenient, affordable method of obtaining ISM-approved credit for continuing education. Closing the educational distance gap is only a mouse click away. With the use of a computer and a telephone you are able to participate in NPI's interactive seminars from the comfort of your desk. Eliminate travel expenses while having the ability and convenience to interact with the presenter, as well as other participants across the country, earning hours toward certification or re-certification.
Current and relevant subject matter in the Supply Management field is offered on a regular basis through VIPS. NPI’s goal is to offer at least one VIPS program each quarter that captures the interest of our diverse membership.
