Each course has been carefully designed by CPC’s dedicated Learning & Development Lead, Mark Pearson, who over the last few years has been leading the way in procurement training & education, helping and supporting CPC's 11,000 members around Procurement Act 2023, through various webinars and training sessions and even designing and delivering public procurement community (PPC) webinars for the Cabinet Office.
Mark said, “I am delighted to launch the first tranche of a series of these updated and revised self-service training modules as part of the wider Crescent Learning resource hub. Crescent Learning is accessible at no cost to CPC members as part of our mission to improve the procurement function with the education sector. More courses will be added throughout the autumn and winter. I am happy for any CPC members to contact me, if they are looking for training on a specific element any of the procurement processes we follow in the public sector and cannot find that support within Crescent Learning.”
