EXAMS
The Executive Master is aimed at preparing the candidate for the APICS Certified in Planning & Inventory Management (CPIM) international certification. Since 2023, the CPIM certification is acquired by passing 1 exam, which merges the old Part 1 and Part 2.
Advance has designed the Interactive Live Webinar mode to meet the needs of those who, for private or professional reasons, cannot take part in the classroom lessons of Intercompany courses. The participant combines self-study moments with live webinar sessions with a certified instructor. The sessions follow each other on a weekly basis. During the last session, the instructor assigns participants a mock exam.
We designed 2 training paths in Live Webinar mode:
a) 45 hours path: it is organized in 15 sessions of 3 hours. All CPIM course contents will be treated in depth.
b) 23 hours path – Flipped Class Mode (FC): it is aimed at those who already have good experience in Operations/Supply Chain Management and who want to systematize their knowledge with an international body of knowledge. In this training path the participant is required to carry out a pre-read of the concepts before the session and will then deepen the key concepts with the Instructor.
At the end of the training, the participant will take the APICS exam and will achieve the prestigious CPIM certification.
The CPIM program addresses in a complete and comprehensive manner all the relevant tools for corporate operational management. The course is based on the APICS Body of Knowledge (BOK) and is aimed at:
- Transfering the Best Practices to the Operations and Supply Chain Management Area
- Preparing the candidate for CPIM Certification (Certified in Planning & Inventory Management)
- Promoting the transition from knowledge to skills
Advance also offers in-house training programs upon request.
