IFPSM Has Awarded Procurement Tactics With PAS Accreditation

What IFPSM Accreditation Signals About Our Platform

Utrecht, the Netherlands — April 22, 2026

Procurement Tactics has been awarded the Procurement Accreditation Standard (PAS) by the International Federation of Procurement and Supply Management (IFPSM), following an independent review of our curriculum, assessment methods, and learning outcomes.

In the letter confirming the accreditation, IFPSM wrote that the award “reflects your commitment to excellence, quality education, and alignment with global procurement standards,” and that Procurement Tactics had “demonstrated dedication to developing high-level capabilities and contributing to the professional advancement of supply chain and procurement professionals.”

What IFPSM and PAS Stand For in Global Standards

The IFPSM is the global federation of national and regional procurement associations, representing tens of thousands of procurement and supply management professionals across dozens of countries. It sets the benchmarks used by national bodies to recognise procurement education worldwide.

PAS is the accreditation standard for training providers. To earn it, an institution’s curriculum, assessment process, and intended learning outcomes are reviewed against globally recognised criteria for procurement training.

Through the PAS accreditation process, IFPSM conducted an audit of our programme and recognised it at a global level, positioning it as a benchmark in procurement education and acknowledging its role in setting standards across the industry.

The Value of Global Accreditation in Procurement

Selecting a training partner or platform in the procurement learning market carries risk. Many providers make similar claims, but few are independently validated. Accreditation helps reduce that uncertainty by confirming that content has been reviewed against globally recognised standards.

PAS accreditation is one of the clearest signals that a provider’s content has been checked by the body that sets the global standard for procurement education. For directors who are accountable for where their L&D budget goes, it de-risks the decision.

What This Means For Procurement Tactics

This accreditation confirms that procurement teams can work with our programs with confidence.

It means the training has been independently reviewed against global procurement education standards, assuring procurement directors that their investment is well placed.

In the end, it reduces risk and strengthens trust in what we deliver.
