About

Certification built around people who already do the job.

Material Academy assesses and certifies practitioners in supply chain management. Our 6 programmes cover procurement, warehousing, logistics and international business.

Who certifies with us

Most of our candidates are already working — in oil and gas, telecoms, manufacturing and distribution. They are buyers, warehouse supervisors, logistics coordinators and operations managers who need a credential that reflects what they already do, and who cannot stop working to get one.

Every programme is self-paced for that reason. There is no cohort to keep pace with and no fixed timetable to miss.

How certification works

  1. Enrol in the programme that matches your discipline.
  2. Work through the material at your own pace.
  3. Sit the assessment when you are ready for it.
  4. Receive your certificate from Material Academy on passing.

Each programme is designed around roughly six months of part-time study, though you may take longer or finish sooner.

What we assess

Procurement

Sourcing strategy, vendor relations, contract negotiation and end-to-end supply coordination.

Warehousing

Warehouse operations, material flow, inventory systems and stock accuracy.

Logistics & trade

Transport planning, freight operations, import and export, and cross-border movement.
