I have pursued Diploma in Materials and Procurement Management from Jigme Namgyel Engineering College, Deothang, Bhutan.
My motivation to do this online course was because it is related to my field of study.

It provides wider knowledge and profound understanding about the public procurement in a simple language. Public procurement plays a crucial role in making significant decisions in which the resources can be utilized in an efficient way. In general, Certificate Program in Public Procurement (CPPP) can help develop knowledge in public procurement and keep us up-to-date on new practices.
The CPPP course provided me with newest opportunity to explore my future carrier in public procurement. I appreciate the World Bank for initiating this program, which has benefited many generations, and for making available the free online course. I would like to thank the World Bank for developing such a dedicated, user friendly online course, which is going to help a lot of professionals and students around the world.

I have been always fascinated with the fundamental of Public Procurement. Its not only a way of procurement of goods but the manner and ideals if follow like equality of opportunities to the suppliers, transparency of process etc.
There is a rising demand for public procurement professionals in the public sector. The course will definitely help to meet the demand for skilled procurement professionals. The participants will be able to understand the basic rules and regulations regarding procurement, methods of procurement for Goods, Works and Services in the public sector.
It is good to see that the World Bank is trying to help in establishing good governance and transparency especially in the Public Procurement sector around the world. The Certificate Program in Public Procurement (CPPP) designed by World Bank is a comprehensive program covering the majority of aspects of public procurement. CPPP is well designed with relevant examples for understanding the Public Procurement Process. I would strongly recommend the course to public sector officials who do not have sufficient knowledge and training in the field of public procurement and also to those individuals who are planning to work in the public-sector procurement.
