We designed 3 CSCP training paths, delivered over 4/5 months by certified instructors:
- Classroom path: 5 training days (4 classroom days + 2 Live Webinar sessions of 4 hours each)
- Live Webinar 40 hours path: 10 sessions of 4 hours each
- Live Webinar Flipped Class path: 13 sessions of 1.5 hours each. This is aimed at those who already have good experience in Supply Chain/Operations Management and who want to systematize their knowledge with the international ASCM body of knowledge. In this version, participants are required to do pre-reading before the session, to then go into depth with the instructor on some key concepts, depending on the needs of the class.
Upon request, Advance also offers in-house training programs tailored to organizational needs.
teaching plan
The course includes:
- A classroom or Live Webinar training phase
- An individual study phase with remote instructor support
- Exam simulation with discussion of results.
At the end of the course, the candidate can take the final exam in CBT (Computer Based Testing) mode at Pearson Vue test centers, coordinated by ASCM. The exam consists of a multiple-choice questionnaire.
Teaching, learning material and final exam are in English. A good knowledge of English is therefore required.
» After passing the exam, ASCM will award the CSCP certification.
