The APICS Certified Supply Chain Professional (CSCP) is one course but the APICS CSCP exam consists of three important modules. The exam reflects critical changes in the marketplace and in the evolving roles and responsibilities of operations and supply chain managers. Here is a list of course topics (PDF).

This Instructor-Supported Online APICS CSCP course is 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 for 14 weeks 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. Students may expect to spend 6 – 8 hours each week completing the assignments and reading required for the course.

Note: Although the instructor support ends after week 14, students are given a total of 18 weeks access to this course. The last 4 weeks are designed for review or self-study to prepare for the APICS exam.
