Purchasing Training

Specialist training is a vital part of staff development in every business discipline and Purchasing is no exception. We run a wide range of courses in the UK and overseas for clients. These can be in-house or offsite.

  • Apart from the obvious cost saving factor, we believe in-house courses have positive advantages as not only are they tailored to address your organisation's requirements and individuals’ development needs but they can also contain a strong element of consultancy by dealing with real life situations within your company.
  • We provide training to suit every facet of purchasing and supply including specification drafting, contract management, law for the buyer, negotiation, tendering, supplier appraisal, environmental purchasing, distribution, stores and inventory management.
  • Each course concludes with an agreed list of action points for each attendee which they can start to work on immediately the course has finished.
  • Our courses are suitable for public and private companies alike and we offer training packages to support professionals who are registered for CIPS, ILT or ISM accreditation.

Horizon Associates is the approved purchasing trainer to the Chartered Institute of Housing.
