A Cut Above The Rest

VCARE 

A Cut Above The Rest

A BODY FOR
YOUR PROFESSIONAL
CERTIFICATION

CHOOSING

All VCARE education and training programs are vetted and approved by the EREB.

​VCARE Academy is the world's first knowledge body, established with its primary focus on the value chain. During the past three decades several supply chain certification bodies have been established; however, in the main most of the education offerings have concentrated on the theoretical aspects of the subject matter and fell short on the practical applications.

​

These certification programs enhance the thought process of the professionals, but many certified professionals are unable to implement the theory into practice without some extra help along the way. So, after several years of research, VCARE Academy has taken the initiative and is launching a series of supply chain certification programs to fill the existing gap in the supply chain education. These certification programs are purely based on the practical aspect of the many facets of the supply chain.

01. Subject Matter

VCARE Programs

​

  • Broad-Based : All VCARE education and training programs are vetted and approved by the EREB who are tasked with ensuring the subject matter is relevant, current, and can be utilized in the workplace.

02. Recognition

VCARE Programs

​

  • World-wide : Because VCARE programs are offered world-wide and presented by subject matter experts, the programs have the advantage for the learner of being recognized not only in his or her own country by globally. VCARE in addition provides opportunities for the graduates and entry- level learners.

03. Affordability

VCARE Programs

​

  • Cost-effective : VCARE is conscious of the ever-increasing cost of education and offers its programs at a cost-effective price rather than an over-the-top price charged by others.

04. Program Content

VCARE Programs

​

  • Needs-specific : Our programs provide the delegates with a practical hands-on platform on which to develop and hone their skills, both in the classroom and in the workplace. We believe in a practical approach to learning rather than a purely theoretical approach.

05. Availability

VCARE Programs

​

  • Global : At VCARE we have established partnerships with a number of international affiliates so that we are able to offer our programs around the globe.

06. Pace

VCARE Programs

​

  • Learner based : The education development team at VCARE recognizes that not all learners learn at the same pace, so we have developed our programs so that a learner can choose the pace at which he or she studies, if they wish to self-study.

07. Delivery

VCARE Programs

​

  • Tutored : At VCARE we do not subscribe to the talk-and-chalk method of learning. We believe in the one-on-one tutoring approach as we have found this provides better understanding of the subject matter on behalf of the learner. In addition VCARE has developed an on-line learning opportunity for those that are unable to travel to an institution to gain their learning.

08. Backup and Support

VCARE Programs

​

  • Continuous : VCARE has developed a process where learners can contact their tutor or mentor 24/7 in the event that they are having difficulty understanding a concept or need advice on how to apply what they have learned in the workplace.

09. Focus

VCARE Programs

​

  • Value chain : We recognize that whilst a supply chain can provide the link between source and end user, to gain the maximum benefit for the business, the supply chain should be seen as a component of the value chain, and that is why at VCARE we place the emphasis on value chain education and training.

01. Subject Matter

Alternatives

​

  • Narrow : The majority of programs available on the market are validated by the professional body, but lack the hands-on content necessary to incorporate the learning into the workplace

02. Recognition

Alternatives

​

  • Often regional : Other programs are offered world-wide and presented by subject matter experts. These programs have the advantage for the learner of being recognized not only in his or her own country by globally. Programs are offered world-wide through affiliates.

03. Affordability

Alternatives 

​

  • Expensive : Many of the programs offered have a high price tag which places them beyond the reach of many would-be learners who do not have the financial resources to be able to participate in these programs

04. Program Content

Alternatives

​

  • Generic : The majority of supply chain education programs fail to provide practical insights to the workplace in order for the learner to apply what is learned in the workplace.

05. Availability

Alternatives 

​

  • Often regional : Many of the other courseware available is only made available in the country in which the body is situated. Depriving many developing countries access to the material.

06. Pace

Alternatives

​

  • Lecture led : Many other programs available are offered at fixed times and duration during the calendar year, and at venues that are remote from where many would-be learners have located making access to these programs prohibitive or costly due to travel.

07. Delivery

Alternatives

​

  • Lectured : For the majority of programs on offer the delivery medium is class-room based where learners need to be able to attend an institution in order to participate in a program.

08. Backup and Support

Alternatives

​

  • Limited : The programs being  offered are limited to providing feedback only during the duration of the program and only during face-to-face contact time in the classroom.

09. Focus

Alternatives 

​

  • Supply chain : Programs are focused on one specific aspect of supply chain management training and education and do not indicate where the course content interfaces with the larger supply chain and value chain.
