CP2P Certification Levels

FIND YOUR STARTING POINT

From understanding the process to owning its direction.

CP2P has two levels: Specialist and Process Owner. They share a holistic view of the procure-to-pay cycle, but are designed for different kinds of work and responsibility.

Specialist is the hands-on, non-managerial path. Process Owner is the advanced managerial path for people managing some or all of the end-to-end cycle. Choose the level that fits the decisions you make — not just the title on your business card.
