Graduates of the "Purchasing Specialist with Federal Certificate" course are trained in holistic and networked thinking in order to meet the complex requirements of modern supply management. They are proficient in modern procurement techniques and can carry out both strategic and operational work in purchasing and procurement independently.

They are in regular contact with existing suppliers and also keep a close eye on what is happening on the national and international procurement markets.
Depending on the position as a purchasing specialist, you will manage the entire procurement process and lead a small team or coordinate the procurement activities of various departments and work on projects.
The "Purchasing Specialist" course leads to a federal certificate that is recognized throughout Switzerland and opens the door to further training. Qualified purchasing specialists are in demand on the job market and find interesting positions.
