 Earn your certification as an APICS

Certified Supply Chain Professional (CSCP)

Are you interested in joining the 20,000 CSCP designees worldwide?

APICS (www.APICS.org),  is a global professional society and a world-renowned leader in Supply Chain Management and Operations Management education. 

APICS developed the Certified Supply Chain Professional (CSCP) certification to help individuals learn world-class supply chain management principles and develop their supply chain leadership skills.  Becoming CSCP certified also demonstrates a strong background in supply chain management to current and future employers, clients, customers, and colleagues. 

CSCP is the supply chain certification most respected by employers worldwide.  Corporations increasingly list "APICS CSCP required" in their job postings.  Also, recent salary surveys showed that CSCP-certified professionals earn significantly more than their peers. 

CSCP is comprised of eight modules that are covered in one course, and the certification can be obtained by passing one exam.   You do not need a college degree to become CSCP certified.
