College Credit Recommendations Program
The American Council on Education (ACE) and The New York State Board of Regents recommend college credit is awarded for successful exam completion in the APICS CPIM program. College faculty review teams, chosen based on subject-matter expertise, evaluated each exam to determine college-level equivalency. The college credit recommendations can be used to
- obtain college credit from an accredited college or university
- qualify for job advancement and salary increases
- meet educational requirements for professional licensure or certification
- qualify for veterans' or insurance benefits
- enter new areas of employment.
Participating colleges and universities have agreed to consider credit recommendations for both the APICS CPIM and APICS CIRM exams because of the integrity of the ACE and New York State Board of Regents examination review process. To learn how you can earn college credits download the summary of the ACE review or the summary of the New York State Board of Regents review for more information.
