Introducing the APICS CPIM Recertification Exam

For individuals with expired CPIM credentials

APICS is pleased to announce that a new certification product is being developed this year. The APICS Certified in Production and Inventory Management (CPIM) Recertification Exam was approved by the APICS Leadership Team in February 2010.

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

The three-hour exam will consist of 120 multiple-choice questions. It 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 unscored items on this exam.

Take the APICS CPIM Recertification Exam at APICS 2010 . Candidates will have the opportunity to take a paper-and-pencil exam at the 2010 APICS International Conference & Expo in Las Vegas, Nevada, USA. The exam is scheduled for October 17, 2010.

The next opportunity to take the exam will be in December 2010.
