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 credential earned
15 percent to 23 percent more than non-certified
professionals. In addition, more and more
companies require APICS certification.
The CPIM and CIRM programs specialize in
results-oriented education, which means that you
will walk away with more than the professional
credential 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.
College Credit
The American Council on Education (ACE) and The
New York State Board of Regents recommend
awarding college credit for successful completion
of exams in both the CPIM CPIM and CIRM CIRM programs.
College faculty review teams, chosen based on
subject-matter expertise, evaluated each exam to
determine college-level equivalency.
Participating colleges and universities have
agreed to consider credit recommendations for
both the CPIM and CIRM exams because of the
integrity of the ACE and New York State Board of
Regents examination review process. Please refer
to APICS Society website for more details .
