CPIM Education Survey
We have a few people
interested in getting started on another round of CPIM training. We would like to have everyone’s
input in trying to arrange these needs.
If you are interested in this training, please take a few minutes
to respond to these questions:
(1) Do you have a time of day, date, and location
preference?
(2) Traditionally, these
classes are taught separately for each of the five tests.
·
5 modules x
40 hrs. training each for a total of 200 hrs of
training.
·
Scheduled 2
modules per year and extended over 2-3 years.
·
Costs was 5
modules x $525 each for $2625 total per person.
·
This cost
includes an APICS workbook for each module.
Do we
want to do this series again?
(3)
Our VP Education has access to a comprehensive CPIM training program she
developed for a company in Missouri. This covers the majority of all the
test content in approximately 50-60 hrs. (the
length of time depends on the level of understanding and experience of
the participants).
·
Do we
want to try and run this program here? Almost
100 people in Missouri
went thru this program with an 80% pass rate on initial tests.
·
Cost
depends on the number of people we can spread it over. Our best guess is around $950 per
person. This would include the
Tony Arnold textbook and a handout set of the instructor’s
PowerPoint slides.
·
Classes
would be taught jointly by Jerry Kilty, CFPIM,
CIRM, CSCP and Wende Huehn-Brown,
PhD, CPIM.
(4)
In the past, we have had a company
sponsor the training. They
supported a location to offer the training, refreshments, etc.
·
Do we have
a company that wants to do this?
·
Since
companies do not want to do training like this with other companies, is
this okay? We can do classes at a
specific company if there is interest.
(5)
We need anyone taking this training to commit their time and support. This means attending the classes,
studying material between classes and for the tests, etc. Is there any reason why this could be a
problem?
·
If so, then
maybe this is not the right time for you to pursue your CPIM.
·
If you just
want to attend the training to learn the body of knowledge and not take
the certification tests, please let us know up front
·
After we get everyone’s
input, we can move forward on a schedule. We must have enough people committed to
do either program together in order to offset our costs.
