SBB AG attaches great importance to the continuous and targeted development of its employees. With the Supply Chain & Procurement Academies we have found a partner that ideally supports this approach. The individualized learning plans, based on a pre-assessment, enable optimal learning success. The current learning content offered in a modern form, ensures a high level of practical relevance.

Procurement Academy offers a very broad selection of courses that cover pretty much all categories and areas of procurement, giving team leaders a lot of flexibility to develop each of their team members in their specific areas, or grow into new ones. I find it very valuable that the people enrolled in the courses can do other training modules, they can roam around and take any module they like and grow professionally.

Procurement Academy offers broad coverage of topics, helpful video formats and learning methodology supported with a few different languages. We also appreciate professional and quick responsiveness to our needs.

Procurement Academy stands out from the other options for training due to the fully online format. It has allowed my team to maintain their training in spite of all of the Coronavirus issues. Further the reporting system allows the manager to understand who will need additional encouragement or prompting. The spider graph in the reporting provides a clear picture on where each person is progressing towards full competence in the subjects of procurement.

Procurement Academy provides exactly what is needed in the world’s changing environment. Online training that is engaging allows the large amount of employees working from home to learn new skills. Through the Academy, corporations are able to provide meaningful training in a vast array of subjects through this virtual, self-paced platform. It is perfect for refreshing old knowledge, or learning new material to grow professionally.

The user interface is simple and intuitive, with the content being easy to follow and linked to examples to explain the underlying concepts. As the number of native English speakers in our organisation is small, Procurement Academy also gave us language support. Eight months into the Academy, the feedback from within Global Procurement has been very positive; +80% of Associates liking the course content, design and relevance to their day to day activities
