Develop the skills to work across all functions of supply chain

Learn more about earning your CPIM

The pandemic caused a major shift in consumer demand and put a spotlight on supply chain vulnerabilities.

With a CPIM certification, you will develop the competencies they need to successfully work across all functions of the supply chain. In addition, you'll have the knowledge to better respond to supply disruptions, demand variations, and manage supply chain risk.

The CPIM course puts you in touch with industry leaders, provides interesting case studies across industries, and allows you to network with colleagues for further learning and business opportunities.
