David Nash's renowned Questions of the Day has resumed! If you, or anyone you know, has set their sights on testing for the CPPB, CPPO, or the NIGP-CPP, the Question of the Day can help.

Each day David sends a public procurement related question that may be on one of the exams. It's a great learning tool and since it's generated by David himself, participants can engage him in further conversations or ask for more detail.

An NIGP instructor himself, David it one of the experts when it comes to all things public procurement. Interested? Visit qoftheday.net, complete the form, and watch your email!
