Advance your career in
procurement and
supply chain
ABA Supply Chain is a CIPS-accredited study centre offering Levels 3 to 6 online, with flexible intakes and tutor support designed for working professionals across Canada and the Caribbean.
Where academic rigour meets
real-world procurement
Our instructors are chartered procurement professionals and academic educators: not one or the other. You get both.
All tuition is delivered online with live classroom sessions and self-paced study materials, so you can manage your studies around a full-time career.
ABA Supply Chain is a CIPS-approved study centre. Your qualification carries the credibility of a globally recognised professional body operating in over 150 countries.
Every module is taught through the lens of current supply chain challenges, including geopolitical risk, tariff volatility, and resilience strategy, grounded in academic frameworks.
Individual supported study sessions are available at mutually convenient times. You are never simply given materials and left to manage on your own.
Our timetables are structured around CIPS exam periods, scheduling one 12-credit and two 6-credit modules per cycle, so a full qualification is achievable in a year.
Purchase modules individually or bundle your full qualification with a four-instalment payment plan. No hidden costs: exam fees are clearly signposted separately through CIPS.
