Advanced Standing

As a professional accreditation program, the Strategic Supply Chain Management Leadership Program is unique in its design, structure and content. However, some prospective candidates will have acquired similar knowledge in a full-time Canadian post-secondary degree program or equivalent foreign program. Such individuals may be exempt from select modules and workshops; some elements of the accreditation program will remain mandatory. To safeguard the integrity of the professional designation, advanced standing will be granted on a “program-only” basis. Prior learning must have been acquired through a post-secondary degree program accredited by PMAC. Courses taken outside of accredited programs will not be evaluated.

Potential candidates with an undergraduate degree in supply chain management, or with equivalent courses, may apply for advanced standing in the following modules:
