Provision of module training towards APICS certification ( CPIM )
The ‘CPIM’ certification programme from APICS is an internationally respected qualification for the professional manager involved in:
- Production and Inventory Management
- Operations
- Supply Chain Management
- Purchasing / Procurement
- Materials Management
For certification, candidates must pass five modules before the end of 2018 when the current configuration of the CPIM is to be replaced by a two part configuration : CPIM Part 1 and Part 2. Hard copy workbooks (Participant Guides) have been withdrawn from print by APICS and are no longer available – a pdf soft copy can be purchased from APICS (MPR, DSP, ECO, SMR only) until mid 2018. As this 5 exam configuration (being refered to as the ‘Legacy CPIM’ by APICS) is being retired, please now refer to CPIM part 2 at either APICS CPIM (Part 2) or http://www.apics.training/cpim-part-2

For ‘individuals’ a distance learning (guided self-study) approach can be offered. However, from early 2014 we will be commencing a re-write of our distance learning pack, therefore attendance at one of the open public courses below is recommended to individual candidates. For those who specifically wish to pursue an ‘online’ version of the course, we recommend the offering from USA based Fox Valley Technical College – refer to FVTC for more information.
UK candidates note – test centres were operated by Prometric in 2014, and by PearsonVUE since 2015.

Announcement for CPIM qualified individuals who have not maintained their certification :-
“The APICS CPIM Recertification Exam is a one-time opportunity for individuals whose CPIM credentials have expired. You now can reclaim your credential. Instead of taking all five CPIM exams again, candidates are able to renew their certifications by taking only one exam.
The new exam, which only ran until the end of 2011, included 30 questions taken from the following CPIM Modules: DSP, ECO, MPR and SMR and will have a total of 120 multiple-choice items delivered in a three-hour exam.” Due to the success of the 2011 re-certification exam programme, it was offered again by APICS during 2014.
In house delivery to a team of people at your facility is the default method of APICS tuition, this allows your team to discuss the issues raised within the material. However, for very small companies with a very small operations planning team this is not always feasible, to this end we occasionally offer open / public courses aimed at those who prefer face-to-face tuition as opposed to a distance learning solution.
