Course Overview

 This two-day program is designed for non-procurement specialists involved in purchasing low risk, low value goods and services through whole of government arrangements, agency specific arrangements or competitive quotations.  The course is based on interactive and practical learning activities designed to allow participants to apply newly acquired knowledge to actual workplace scenarios.  The program covers the lifecycle of low risk, low value procurements from initial planning through to closing the purchase.

ZOOM Virtual Classroom

Our virtual classroom consists of a facilitator teaching the class to students who are dialled in remotely to the class session. Presentation slides and other digital files can be presented during the training session using the Zoom platform and the student may either focus on these resources or the facilitator. 

To enable connection, you will require the following set-up:

- Sufficient internet connection – Zoom is successful on a 4G network. Any network better than 4G will enhance the student’s experience;
- A PC with a web-camera, microphone and the capacity to run the Zoom application to allow the facilitator to better interact with students in the same manner as a traditional classroom; and
- Sufficient sized monitor or screen
