You may recall that last month we introduced the Public Procurement Learning Lab – a new chapter in OPBA’s commitment to education and professional development.
As the cornerstone of OPBA’s educational offerings, PPLL provides a more comprehensive and meaningful learning experience through a blend of self-paced online modules and a virtual classroom session via Zoom in the final week.
What’s New for 2026
Plan your learning year ahead — 2026 course registration is now open!
- The Principles Program is now offered in a new, blended format through the PPLL platform.
- Public Procurement Specialties (PPS) courses — Supplier Performance, RFPs, and Advanced Construction — will continue to be delivered through our traditional Zoom sessions.
Stay tuned as we continue to expand our course offerings on the PPLL platform.
Why the New PPLL Learning Format?
While the course content remains the same, the learning experience has been enhanced to reflect the evolving needs of today’s procurement professionals.
Courses delivered through the PPLL platform will provide you:
- A digital, downloadable chapter from the Principles textbook
- Weekly quizzes to check your understanding
- Instructor feedback on pre-assignments and assignments
- A live learning session on Zoom with your instructor and classmates
| Pricing Update
As we continue to invest in high-quality content, digital tools, and enriched learning experiences, course registration fees will be adjusted beginning in 2026 to sustain and grow the value we deliver to our members. To help with your professional development budgeting, please note that new pricing for PPLL and Public Procurement Specialties (PPS) courses will take effect in 2026. Refer to this page for details. We remain committed to providing accessible, relevant, and impactful education that supports your professional growth and strengthens the public procurement community. |
