APICS internationally recognized certification programs are known globally as standards of competence in business and manufacturing. The APICS programs each consist of five exam modules, for which you can prepare with a number of APICS study materials, text and multimedia references, and instructor-led courses and workshops.
APICS certification programs open the door to job opportunities and your career advancement. According to the 1999 APICS Salary Survey, respondents with APICS credentials earned 15 to 23 percent more than non-certified professionals.
In addition, more Internet-savvy manufacturing companies are demanding APICS certification on applicant resumes. On the Monsterboard.com site, more than 61 percent of manufacturing jobs request APICS certification!
The APICS programs specialize in results-oriented education, which means that you will walk away with more than the professional credentials 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.
