How it Works
This course is not a computer based training course (CBT). It has been designed to combine elements of self study and facilitator led on-line tuition.
Self Study
In the case of APICS or SAPICS courses the student will receive printed materials specified and recommended by SAPICS / APICS. These materials will be referred to during on-line participation and will also be used for on-line Discussion Forums and evaluations.
Courses such as the Center for Logistics Excellence Supply Chain Management course are a fully web enabled course and all material is available to the student online. Printed materials may be purchased additionally.
On-line
The course will follow the curriculum and the materials specified by the courseware provider.
Upon confirmation of order and payment:
• The learner will be assigned a username, password and an enrollment key.
