Who it's for
This membership is specifically intended for students who are currently in the process of pursuing professional qualifications within the procurement and supply sectors. It is meant for those who are actively studying to build their expertise in these specific professional fields.

Additionally, the membership provides you with networking opportunities, allowing you to connect with a wider professional community as you begin your career.
What it costs you
Maintaining this membership requires the payment of an annual fee. However, because this is a student-specific program, the cost is reduced to make it more accessible for those currently in education. You should check the official portal for the current amount.
