Frequently Asked Questions

What do Al-Khobraa procurement and supply chain courses cover?

The portfolio covers strategic sourcing and category management, tendering and supplier evaluation, contract and supplier performance management, negotiation, logistics, warehousing and inventory control — alongside preparation for CIPS (Chartered Institute of Procurement & Supply) qualifications, the global benchmark for the profession.

Who should attend a procurement and supply chain course?

These courses suit procurement and purchasing officers, category and sourcing managers, contract administrators, warehouse and inventory supervisors, logistics and materials planners, and finance or engineering staff who raise and evaluate tenders. No prior CIPS study is assumed.

How long are procurement and supply chain courses, and where are they held?

Most Al-Khobraa procurement and supply chain courses run over 5 days. The exact duration, dates and city for this course are listed in the dates section on this page. Public sessions run across Saudi Arabia — Riyadh, Jeddah, Al-Khobar, Jubail and Yanbu — as well as regional and international venues, with live virtual classrooms available on request.

What certificate will I receive?

Delegates who complete the course receive an Al-Khobraa certificate of completion, issued by a Saudi-registered training provider. Al-Khobraa also delivers internationally accredited programmes; where a course carries an external awarding body such as PMI, CIPS, ILM or IOSH, that body is named on the course's own page.

Can procurement and supply chain training be delivered in-house for our team?
