CSCP: Certified Supply Chain Professional at Villanova University

PAN-APICS is offering instructor-led CSCP classes Thursday Evenings, September 4 through December 4, 2008 from 6:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. Class will be held at Villanova University Conference Center, 601 County Line Road, Radnor, PA 19087.

To earn the APICS CSCP designation, candidates must meet eligibility requirements and pass the APICS CSCP exam. To help you get started, APICS has developed the APICS CSCP Learning System, a comprehensive professional development and exam preparation program. It combines print materials with online components to deliver a customized learning experience. This easy-to-use system is self-directed but can be combined with an instructor-led course if you prefer a classroom setting.

The learning system is divided into four modules:
· Supply Chain Management Fundamentals
· Building Competitive Operations, Planning, and Logistics
· Managing Customer and Supplier Relationships
· Using Information Technology to Enable Supply Chain Management

Upon completion of the course you will recieve a certificate for 3.6 CEU's (Continuing Education Units) from Villanova University.
