| The CPIM and CIRM 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. |
| |
| The CIRM and CPIM programs each consist of five exam modules for which you can prepare with a number of APICS study materials, text and multimedia references, and instructor-led courses and workshops. |
| |
| Once you earn your CPIM designation, you are eligible to take your professional credentials to the next level with Certified Fellow in Production and Inventory Management (CFPIM). This designation is awarded to an elite group of professionals who share their knowledge with others through presenting, publishing, teaching, and participating in other professional development activities. |
| |
| You can now earn college credit for passing CPIM and CIRM examinations. CPIM and CIRM examinations have received recommendations for credit by both the American Council on Education (ACE) and the New York State Board of Regents. These credit recommendations are intended to guide participating institutions in granting college credit to students who pass CPIM or CIRM exams. |
