APICS CPIM Recertification Exam

APICS CPIM Recertification Exam
The APICS CPIM Recertification Exam provides a unique opportunity to individuals whose CPIM credentials have expired and previously were required to retake all five CPIM exams. Instead, candidates now can renew their certifications by taking one exam. This exam is a limited–time offering and will be available only through December 31, 2011.

The three–hour exam will consist of 120 multiple–choice questions. The test will include 30 items taken from each of the following modules: Detailed Scheduling and Planning, Master Planning of Resources, Execution and Control of Operations, and Strategic Management of Resources. There will be no un scored items on this exam.

First APICS Recertification Exam
Candidates will have the opportunity to take a paper–and–pencil exam at the 2010 APICS International Conference & Expo in Las Vegas, Nevada. The exam is scheduled for October 17, 2010. The next opportunity to take the exam will be in December 2010.

Who Is Eligible?
To be eligible for the APICS CPIM Recertification Exam, candidates must have obtained their CPIM before the year 2000 and have expired CPIM credentials.

APICS will inform the APICS Channel Partners, members and customers with expired CPIM designations about the exam this week. Information will be posted to C–BOX and APICS Web site.

APICS will actively be marketing the exam, and we hope that our partner network can also help in spreading the word to individuals who can benefit from this limited–time offer.
