The APICS CPIM credential offers growth, advancement and recognition. This credential is based on global research involving employers and practicing operations professionals at all levels to ensure APICS maintains an industry-leading level of excellence and relevance in our ever-evolving business environment.
To maintain this level of excellence and relevancy, APICS brought together subject-matter experts in the operations profession to review the CPIM program, which shaped the 2018 updates. The program has been updated to condense the time it takes to earn the CPIM credential with new CPIM-focused content, learning tools and practice questions developed to ensure practical and efficient training.
Becoming a CPIM proves your internal operations knowledge, competency and value to colleagues and to employers looking for a competitive edge in today’s global economy. Wherever your career takes you, your CPIM certification defines you as an internal operations expert and leader.
