Total E&P
Working together to develop consistent international procurement practices.
With an already-robust training programme in place, Total E&P wanted to strengthen its offering to employees worldwide. A close collaboration with CIPS was established to ensure quality assurance, consistency and continuity across all continents via a Tailored Skills Training programme.
The end result was the Contracts and Procurement (C&P) Fundamentals – Basic course, a five-day course delivered by trainers from both Total E&P and CIPS. At the end of the course, delegates take an assessment, with a score of at least 70% necessary to be awarded the diploma. The programme is mandatory for all of Total’s procurement staff worldwide. The collaboration grew from strength to strength, with CIPS accommodating and respecting Total’s in-house processes and terminology, proving to be a trusted and valuable partner in developing and delivering training on a global scale.
CIPS Skills Training
Why did Total E&P choose CIPS Tailored Skills Training?
Total E&P were looking for a strong collaborator who could ensure their course content was relevant and robust. CIPS worked very closely with Total E&P to examine and monitor every aspect, ensuring the course was to an acceptable and consistent level of quality.
The international scope of Total E&P’s operations meant it was key for the training to deliver a relevant and consistent message worldwide. Together, Total E&P and CIPS grew their working relationship into a strong, trusted collaboration which is now being extended into developing intermediate and advanced training. The success of the course stems from the powerful combination of strong drive from Total E&P’s management, expert advice from CIPS and an enthusiastic response from participants. Those who undertake the training learn the steps of the purchasing process, understand the role of everyone involved in each step, discover the most effective methods and tools to achieve an efficient purchase, get to grips with the C&P IT tools and understand the roles and contributions of all C&P specialties.
