APICS CPIM Instructor-Supported Online Classes

APICS certification programs open the door to job opportunities and your career advancement. Based on the 2021 ASCM Supply Chain Salary and Career Survey Report, APICS-Certified individuals earn 21% more than their non-certified peers. ASCM members on average have a higher pass rate for APICS certification exams compared to non-members.

In addition, more internet-savvy manufacturing companies are demanding APICS certification on applicant resumes.

The CPIM, CLTD, and CSCP programs specialize in results-oriented education, which means that you will walk away with more than the professional credentials that you have earned. You will learn to apply what you have learned in your own job, giving you enhanced credibility and recognition as a valued resource within your company.

This Instructor-Supported Online APICS CPIM Part 1, and Part 2 courses are considered a public offering. In this delivery method, students’ progress through the course schedule independent of each other. There are no required activities that all students must attend at any one particular point in time. In other words, you may progress at your own pace as long as you stay current with the course syllabus and meet the deadlines each week.

Students are assigned to one instructor throughout the course. This online class does not have a required meeting time each week. The Instructor-Supported Online course is asynchronous, so you may complete the assignments on your own schedule during the week.

Note: Although the instructor support ends after 10 weeks for CPIM Part 1, and 14 weeks for CPIM part 2, students are given four additional weeks access to this course. The last four weeks are designed for review or self-study to prepare for the APICS exam. Students are expected to complete a chapter a week and most students spend between 2 and 6 hours per chapter.
