Choose your learning option
All certification prep starts with the APICS Learning System.
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, or instructor-supported. Customized
group training options are also available.
Self-study
Allows you to study on your own when and where your schedule
allows by combining printed books with the online interactive
platform. Self-study is ideal for self-starters and those with
variable schedules.
Instructor-supported
Online classes are ideal for those who want instructor support
but can’t attend classes at a set time. You will have an instructor,
but there is no required meeting time, so you can complete the
assignments on your own schedule.
Corporate Group Training
Training programs are built to suit your organization’s specific
learning styles, schedules, group sizes and locations.
Prepare for the exam
The APICS Learning System is a combination of print and
interactive digital materials including quizzes, flashcards and
downloadable content. It dynamically serves up the content and
tools you need to fill your unique gaps and create efficiency in
your studying. The Assess, Study and Practice components are
designed to help you retain the information.
Assess:
Measure your knowledge with the online assessment.
Study:
Study the learning system modules, flashcards and
practice quizzes.
Practice:
Build exam day confidence with a CPIM practice test.
Studying with the APICS Learning System increases your
preparedness and chances of passing the APICS Exam.
Schedule and pass your exam
On average, we recommend 100 hours of study time to pass the
exam, but you may need more or less time depending on your
experience. Candidates who test within three months of their
studies are more likely to pass their exam, so purchase and
schedule your exam accordingly.
The exam consists of 150 questions, and you will have 3.5 hours
to complete. The CPIM score range is 200 to 350. Scores 300
points and above are considered passing, and any score 299
points or below is a failing score.
APICS exams are administered via computer-based testing (CBT)
at Pearson VUE test centers worldwide and online through the
OnVue system.
