Instructor-Led Certification Classes Prepare Professionals to Add Value and Earn More
- In-person classes help students stay on a planned study schedule reviewing all the modules on the exam
- Instructors provide local examples of companies using supply chain concepts in the materials.
- Instructors can answer questions on the material, the testing process, and preparing for the exam because they maintain active APICS certification in the certification material they are teaching.
- Network with other students who have experience solving supply chain challenges.
The salary numbers show organizations value the certifications. In the ASCM Webinar “Level Up Your Paycheck: Insights from the ASCM Salary and Career Report”, Abe Eshkenazi, Chief Executive Officer of ASCM said: The raises are happening because of the recognition of the contributions certified professionals are making to the organization. Individuals are being rewarded because they are advancing the organization; not because they are getting a certification.
ASCM asks organizations what competencies and capabilities are needed when designing certification programs. What is taught in school may not match what employers are looking for. New supply chain roles that did not exist a few years ago are being created. Supply chain professionals are now responsible for things that they weren’t 5 years ago like sustainability and compliance.
