Benefits

Continuing education is the key to professional growth in today's competitive workforce. To provide you with the latest in industry tools, techniques, and terminology, APICS has developed comprehensive educational and certification programs designed to meet the needs of any resource management professional. The format, function, and preparation methods are different for each program, offering a unique experience with each course.

The APICS - Winnipeg Chapter provides educational offerings throughout Winnipeg and rural Manitoba. We also will provide educational services to Saskatchewan and North Dakota. Through various delivery methods such as in classroom sessions, in-house sessions and correspondence training the Winnipeg Chapter tries to provide the right training, at the right time, in the right location for individuals or businesses.

The CPIM and CSCP level of courses are used as a preparation tools for the certification exams that are delivered by a local testing centre on APICS behalf. Taking the courses does not guarantee a passing mark but will increase the chances of a passing mark.

What We Offer

Instructor Led Courses
The Winnipeg Chapter offers the CPIM and CSCP certification preparatory courses in instructor led environments. The delivery method allows the student to interface not only with an experienced instructor but to interface with other students from different industries. We have found that for many of our past students the classroom setting helps them prepare for tackling the actual certification exams. The students found that the information concerning instructor/student experiences and questions raised by students helped prepare them for the examinations.
The Winnipeg Chapter offers the 10 - 3 hour session offering to those people that find it difficult to commit to 3-4 full day sessions. The 10 session also offers the student the chance to reflect on the information presented in each class. Course Calendar

On Site Training
The Winnipeg Chapter also offers APICS sponsored courses taught in-house to companies with 10 or more employees wanting to take the same course at the same time. The number of sessions can be modified to suit a company as long as the course content can be covered in the time allotted. We will negotiate each company in-house training course to ensure that both the company's training need and the course content is not compromised.
