APICS CPIM Instructor-Supported Online Classes

Apics-CPIM

In partnership with the Association of Supply Chain Management (ASCM), FVTC offers the APICS CPIM course in an online, instructor-supported format. Participants are assigned to an APICS certified instructor who supports their learning activities during the course.

The Certified in Planning and Inventory Management (CPIM) coursework provides a common basis for individuals and organizations to evaluate their inventory management. The program has helped individuals and their organizations become more productive and competitive because it is designed to test candidates’ in-depth knowledge of a variety of subjects specific to planning and inventory management.

Why pursue APICS Certification?

APICS certification programs open the door to job opportunities and your career advancement. Based on the 2022 ASCM Supply Chain Salary and Career Survey Report, APICS-Certified individuals earn 25% more than their non-certified peers. APICS-Certified individuals report salaries 18% higher than those with other certifications. 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.

Why now? Let's face it, with the hectic world we live in, there will be no perfect time to begin certification. Now is the time to roll up your shirt sleeves and dive in!

Time Commitment & Expectations

This instructor-supported online APICS CPIM course is a public offering. In this delivery method, students will progress through the course according to a weekly course schedule, under the guidance of their assigned instructor.

The instructor-supported online course is asynchronous, meaning that the class does not have a required meeting time each week.  Students may complete the assigned weekly activities on any day of the week and at any time of the day that suits them. There are no activities that all students must attend together at a scheduled time (e.g., there are no webinars).  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.

Note: Although the instructor support ends after 16 weeks, students are given four additional weeks of access to this course after the scheduled course end date. The last four weeks are designed for review or self-study to prepare for the APICS exam. Students are expected to complete weekly learning activities and a weekly reading assignment.  On average, students can expect to study 6 to 12 hours per week.  (This will vary by individual, according to an individual’s learning style and reading speed.)
