Experience the Power of Knowledge

APICS’ internationally recognized certification programs, Certified in Integrated Resource Management (CIRM) and Certified in Production and Inventory Management (CPIM), are known globally as standards of competence in business and manufacturing.

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.

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.

Why Choose APICS Certification Programs?

APICS certification programs open the door to job opportunities and your career advancement. According to a recent APICS Salary Survey, respondents with CPIM or CIRM credentials earned 15 percent to 23 percent more than noncertified professionals.

In addition, more Internet-savvy manufacturing companies are demanding APICS certification on applicant resumes. On Monster.com, more than 61 percent of manufacturing jobs request APICS certification!

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 APICS Certification Maintenance program prepares you for the challenges ahead by preserving the currency of your hard-earned certification credentials.
