ONLINE MODULES: (Self-Directed)
All reading material, case studies, and documents you’ll be reviewing in this course are hyperlinked to the slides. They can also be found in the Resource Tab (top right corner) of your online Modules. Be sure to review the Glossary of Terms before you begin. As you work through the weekly modules, note any questions you have. Consider attending the optional Module Review + Q & A session that starts 20 minutes earlier. Alternatively, you can email questions to: Instructors@theprocurementschool.com.
LIVE SESSIONS: Delivered over Zoom
You must complete the online module before each LIVE session and arrive well prepared to share your ideas with colleagues during the small group breakouts. The instructor will be online 20 minutes early to provide an optional Module Review. The Review is extremely valuable as the instructor covers real-life experiences and it is your opportunity for Q and A. Please advise if you cannot attend a LIVE session.
