about

What is IFPSM Program Accreditation Standard?

The IFPSM Programme Accreditation Standard (PAS) is an international accreditation framework designed for professional and applied procurement and supply chain management education and training programmes.

PAS evaluates programme quality, professional relevance, learning outcomes, assessment methodologies, learner engagement, and alignment with current procurement and supply chain management practices.

The framework supports organizations in demonstrating that their programmes meet internationally recognized standards for professional procurement and supply chain education.
PAS recognizes programmes that demonstrate professional relevance, robust learning design, applied competencies, and alignment with contemporary procurement and supply chain management practices.

PAS supports programmes that prepare professionals for the evolving procurement and supply chain environment, including digital transformation, sustainability, ESG, and emerging technologies.

Programmes accredited under PAS are required to deliver a minimum of 150 learning hours through classroom instruction, online learning, workplace application, research, project work, or blended delivery methodologies.
