Supply management professionals with a CPSM earn 17% more on average than those without a certification, making an ISM certification a worthy investment. 

 

 
 
 
 
 

I began seeking certification as a challenge. I believed it would be beneficial to my career and was intellectually curious as to how best-in-class organizations manage their supply chain. 

I received my CPSM early in my tenure at Bank of America. It was a differentiator as I advanced in my career.  

I often apply core principles learned during the certification process to my role and encourage my teammates to stay on the cutting edge of industry trends.  

It is worth the investment. I encourage anyone seeking certification to take the concepts and apply them to their organization.”
