Procurement and Contracting Training

We deliver the following nationally recognised qualifications in Procurement and Contracting. The training is suitable for persons responsible for the procurement of goods and services in public sector agencies and departments.

Our approach

At ACFEC, we use a learning pedagogy that identifies, designs, develops, implements and evaluates the client’s training needs. We implement this pedagogy through the full contextualisation of learning materials and assessment tools. In addressing the client’s training needs and course design, we use the ADDIE model of project management. 

The design process gives effect to the risk management, operational, legislative and governance requirements of clients and ensures that the learning methodology is adapted to the particularities of the client.
