All certification prep starts with the APICS Learning Systems. We offer different study options to help you find the right study method for your schedule and learning style. Choose between Self-Study, Instructor-Led, Instructor-Supported or see if your company offers group training. You can purchase Learning System materials independently or with your exam purchase.  Get significant savings when you become an ASCM PLUS Member.
On average, we recommend 100 hours of study time to pass each exam, but you may need more or less study time. Purchase and schedule your exam so you can plan accordingly. Candidates who test within three months of their studies are more likely to pass their exam.
Use your credential letters at the end of your name on your resume, LinkedIn profile, and business cards.
Get the ultimate flexibility with our Self-Study option. Self-Study Learning Systems combine printed books with an online interactive platform that includes learning activities, quizzes, flashcards, and downloadable content so you can study anywhere.

For those who can’t attend classes at a set time, but want instructor support, we offer instructor-supported online classes through Fox Valley Technical College. You will be assigned one instructor for the 12-week course, but there is no required meeting time, so you can complete the weekly assignments on your own schedule.

When your organization partners with ASCM, we’ll help you organize small or large groups of self-study or instructor-led classes at your facility or virtually. Whether participants are local to one site or geographically dispersed, structured learning and online group reporting helps track your progress to help you get the most out of your training investment.
Some APICS certifications are available in a bundle that includes Learning Systems and exams at significant savings. Bundles are available for ASCM PLUS members only. Nonmembers and ASCM CORE members can purchase and upgrade to PLUS membership.
