Buying and Merchandising Training Suite

Announcement regarding NRF University wired: the NRF Foundation's eLearning courses are being migrated to a new Learning Management System, managed by our long-time partner, Martec International. We are really excited about this development, which will mean an even broader menu of courses and services that will enhance your experience and knowledge of the retail industry.

The transition will be completed within early 2013, and then we'll share further instructions on our featured retail training courses. In the meantime, please direct any inquiries to nrfuniversitywiredinfo@nrf.com.
