Customer review of this event
Composition of the customer rating

Origin of the customer ratings

The evaluations of our seminars, webinars and workshops are given by the training participants. Following each training event, participants provide written feedback via a digital questionnaire. The customer testimonials mentioned on our website are also taken from these questionnaires.

Calculation of the overall evaluation

The total of eight evaluation criteria, which are collected by means of a questionnaire, result proportionately in the calculated overall evaluation.

The professional competence of the seminar leaders was excellent.

I found the individual seminar implementation and the possibility to ask all questions super. A very good training overall!

I find the detailed explanations of the techniques of purchasing and the tips on how to implement what you have learned in your everyday professional life very helpful!

I particularly liked the fact that it was quite relaxed and pleasant, and the training content was not just worked through in a purely factual way.

Methodology and Didactics: Training Purchasing

The buyers' seminar is strongly practice-oriented and is characterised by its interactive learning methods. Trainer input, group work and impulse lectures are the introduction to this course and serve to develop the basic tools of a buyer. This is followed by role plays to train and consolidate the methods learned. This is followed by feedback via video analysis and by the group of participants. Discussions on selected case studies and best practice examples serve to exchange experiences and broaden personal perspectives. Training materials help to consolidate the learning content even after the training.

Target group: Purchasing training

This training is aimed at those who want to systematically acquire and consolidate a comprehensive basic knowledge of the tasks, strategies and instruments of purchasing. In addition, the purchasing training addresses participants who have professional points of contact and interfaces with purchasers and would like to keep their knowledge in this regard up to date.

For whom is a training purchase suitable?

The buyer training is suitable for buyers who have relevant professional experience but who have not yet gained any training knowledge in this specialist area. Furthermore, specialists and managers are addressed who are responsible for the procurement of relevant services and products as project managers. Finally, these training courses are suitable for those who are in daily contact with colleagues in purchasing and would like to make the cooperation more efficient and smoother. Last but not least, experienced buyers who want to refresh their knowledge and acquire the latest procurement management strategies are welcome.

What requirements will I be prepared for as a buyer in the training: Purchasing?

In this buyer seminar, you will be prepared to continuously adapt to permanently changing framework conditions for procurement. A current example is the advancing globalisation or the Corona pandemic, which makes a flexible adaptation of the supply chains necessary. In addition to external influencing factors, purchasing is confronted with internal requirements. Thus, the role of purchasing within the supply chain management process must be constantly revised and further developed.
