Procurement and Supply Management
Pearson BTEC Level 5 Higher National Diploma in Business (Procurement and Supply Management). The award comes from Pearson in the UK, not from TIIB.
Dubai moves goods for a living, so procurement is a local skill with a global market. You learn sourcing, contracts, negotiation, logistics, inventory and risk, and you leave able to run a supply chain that does not fall over when one supplier does.
