Questions

CCR™ FAQs

What is the CCR™ credential?
An independent, exam-based credential that validates your business understands corporate procurement, compliance, and contracting expectations. It's competency-based — earned by what you know, not by ownership or demographics — so it complements (and never replaces) supplier-diversity credentials.
What's on the exam and how long is it?
112 scenario-based questions covering corporate contracting fundamentals, procurement roles, RFPs and supplier portals, capital readiness, risk, and compliance. You have 2 hours to complete it in a password-protected, timed online environment.
How much does it cost and how long is it valid?
A one-time $299 exam fee. Once earned, the CCR™ credential is valid for two (2) years, with renewal by re-exam or approved continuing education.
Does CCR™ replace my other credentials?
No. CCR™ validates contracting knowledge and readiness — it strengthens how buyers see you and works alongside your existing credentials, including supplier-diversity credentials.
