Procurement Administration

Every business buys things: spare parts, PPE, fuel, stationery, building materials and services. Procurement administrators make sure the business buys the right thing, from an approved supplier, at a fair price, with proper approval and a paper trail that will stand up to an audit. It is detailed, responsible work, and it is a common entry point into a buying or supply chain career. This course teaches you the procure-to-pay process, how to check requisitions, request and compare quotes, raise and manage purchase orders, set up and maintain supplier records, understand the basics of B-BBEE and preferential procurement in South Africa, follow up deliveries, and match orders, deliveries and invoices before payment. Examples come from South African construction companies, mines, plant hire businesses and wholesalers. The course is fully online and self-paced. Each lesson has a short activity in your workbook. You finish with a practical task and a final assessment, and you receive a MetaCo Certificate of Completion that you can add to your CV.
