Certification Programs
Enhance skills and career mobility through APICS certification programs. APICS members pursuing certification enjoy savings on certification preparation classes, review materials, and testing fees. Members can more effectively work through the certification process by taking chapter review courses and participating in study groups. Our certification electronic discussion lists are also helpful preparation tools.
(Note: As chapters do not exist outside North America, benefits related to and provided by chapters do not apply to international and international members at large.)

APICS Magazine
Stay current on industry trends and developments with our monthly, award-winning magazine, APICS, free to members. It features case studies, best practices, and innovative ideas in the fields of enterprise management, supply chain management, logistics/warehouse management, and production/inventory management for professionals at every level or an organization. Feature articles are also posted in the Members-Only Web site.

Local Chapters
Chapters offer localized services which may include educational programs, certification review courses, career placement opportunities, plant tours, and networking.
