I am interested in your online course of Procurement and would like to be considered for the course of Procurement, I'm currently working as a Program Finance Officer at Network Activities Group. Previously, I was working as National Finance Assistant funded by World Bank, Finance Officer at Myanmar Red Cross Society and Admin Finance Assistant at Burnet Institute International.
I’m currently working in finance department in Network Activities Group for Department of Rural Development of World Bank funded. When I had been worked in Myanmar Red Cross Society’s for 3MDG fund and consortium fund of 6 International Red Cross and in Burnet Institute’s Harm Reduction Project for Global fund. At present, I am heading this program’s finance operations by supervision on the eight township project and coordinate with township finance officers. I had been work in here, my duty to prepare WB, ICSF, MHF donors financial reporting and Budget allocations ,internal Cash Flow Forecast, and internal financial report for monthly, quarterly and annually. Moreover I need to supervise (8) field Finance Officers in townships and assist to Finance Manager for Finance policy development. Previously, I worked at Department of Rural Development work above mention as present and technical assistant to Director of Finance and coordinated contract negotiation with government and NGOs, to advice for Finance and Administration compliance reversion to submit Parliament. When I also work MRCS and Burnet Institute I had been prepared the financial report bookkeeping training to CBOs, SHGs, VHC and overall project operation to Program Manager. Thus, I would like to change my professional background to Procurement specialist and I'm more interested the procurement procedures and process.

Overall, I'm please I did this course.

But coming from the World Bank (an organisation that must be seen to remain free from corruption) and focused on countries where corruption is obviously a major challenge, it felt like a completely different perspective.

The material was relatively simple.

The biggest downside was the delivery method - much of it was based on animated characters talking - a method I find condescending, slow and ineffective, with very little in common with most modern online methods. (Seriously, I would suggest the folks who made material do another MOOC themselves, and see what has changed - this was the kind of poor quality delivery methodology businesses used for internal training 20 years ago).

But I commend the World Bank in putting some effort into improving the levels of training in this space with this rather unique offering. I'm not sure I would go into large scale RFPs based solely on this, but it is probably good backgrounder for anyone who is involved for the first time.
