Supply Management Training

Supply Management Training consists of introductory technical courses, soft skill workshops and business management seminars. Participants can access either a single course or seminar, or complete the entire package and earn a Diploma in Supply Management.

The technical course component of this program is available in a variety of formats, which include classroom instruction, structured self-study and our newest accelerated offerings. Registration for the In-class schedule begins in July through both SIAST Wascana and Kelsey campuses. Register early as space is limited. All courses will also continue to be offered in structured self-study format with fall, winter and spring start dates. Registration for self-study and accelerated courses is available directly through the SIPMAC office.
