The Cooperative Purchasing, Introduction to Procurement for Construction and the Advanced Procurement for Construction are elective courses.
Participate and attend two other OPBA-sponsored seminars or courses, regional workshops or co-op meetings, qualifying OPBA Talks meetings, or OPBA spring/fall workshops.
Complete and pass the final examination.

I understand and confirm that I must satisfy the above requirements within 3 years of my enrollment date.

I am aware that the Principles Certificate program is eligible for 36 – 48 UPPCC contact hours, depending on the number of courses taken, and that these hours count towards the CPPB and CPPO certification and re-certification.
