Procurement training in the UAE, on your team’s live work.
Procurement Superheroes trains procurement teams and practitioners in the UAE on the work already on their desks, and the team programs carry a guarantee. It runs live online for teams in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Ras Al Khaimah and Fujairah. You can send your team on a five-day course, or you can train them on their live work, where the learning and the action happen at the same time.
Three things your team already works around.
- 01
In-Country Value
The National In-Country Value Program, led by the Ministry of Industry and Advanced Technology, scores suppliers on what they spend and invest in the UAE. A supplier’s score now sits beside its price when your team awards a contract.
- 02
The working week
Federal offices work Monday to Thursday and Friday until midday. Sharjah’s government takes Friday to Sunday off. Private firms set their own week, so sessions are scheduled with each team.
- 03
Five days in a room, or your live work
A five-day course teaches the method first and leaves the applying for later. On live work, the category, supplier or contract your team brings is the lesson, so the learning and the action happen together.
Three ways in, all on live work.
- 01
Team programs
Million Dollar Week and Headway train your team on its own targets. Million Dollar Week guarantees identified value of at least 10 times the investment. Headway carries a performance guarantee agreed up front.
- 02
The Practice
One live hour every Friday for individual practitioners, on the problem on their desk. Fifty founding places, with six Fridays free from 12 February 2027.
- 03
Coaching
1:1 or a small group from your team, on one decision at a time. It includes support alongside CIPS study.
Before you book.
A call first, to see what your team is working on and which program fits. Also see procurement training in Qatar and Oman.
Who offers procurement training in the UAE on live work?
Procurement Superheroes trains UAE procurement teams on their own categories, suppliers and contracts, live online. Million Dollar Week guarantees identified value of at least 10 times the investment, and Headway carries a performance guarantee agreed up front.
How is this different from a five-day procurement course?
A five-day course teaches the method in a classroom, and your team applies it afterwards. Here the team works on its own category, supplier or contract during the program, so the learning and the action happen at the same time. The team programs also carry a guarantee.
What time is the Friday session in the UAE?
8am on Fridays until early April 2027, then 9am until early October, when Melbourne changes its clocks. It falls inside the Friday morning most UAE offices work.
Do you cover In-Country Value?
The programs work on your team’s live sourcing decisions, and in the UAE those decisions include a supplier’s ICV score beside its price. We don’t issue ICV certificates or advise on certification. A certifying body approved by the Ministry does that.
Is it in person or online?
Online and live. Team programs are scheduled with your team around its working week.
Do you help with CIPS?
Yes, with coaching alongside your CIPS study. Procurement Superheroes is independent of CIPS and is not a study centre.
What does it cost?
The Practice is AU$600 a year plus GST for founding members, after six free Fridays. Team programs are priced for each team and set out on a call.
