Five Ways to Grab Employers' Attention

APICS is pleased to announce that a new certification product has been developed this year. The APICS Certified in Production and Inventory Management (CPIM) Recertification Exam was approved by the APICS Leadership Team in February 2010.

APICS CPIM Recertification Exam
The APICS CPIM Recertification Exam provides a unique opportunity to individuals whose CPIM credentials have expired and previously were required to retake all five CPIM exams. Instead, candidates now can renew their certification by taking one exam. This exam is a limited-time offering and will be available only through December 31, 2011.

The three-hour exam will consist of 120 multiple-choice questions. The test will include 30 items taken from each of the following modules: Detailed Scheduling and Planning, Master Planning of Resources, Execution and Control of Operations, and Strategic Management of Resources. There will be no unscored items on this exam.

There are no course or instructor materials for this test.  If anyone is interested in this one-time offer, we could certainly offer a prep workshop.  Contact Dave Turbide.

The chapter is currently holding its first CSCP training class.  If you are interested in future classes, please contact Dave Turbide at (603) 964-6903 or dave@daveturbide.com .
