Welcome! You have taken the first step towards learning more about your role and responsibility as an APICS instructor. To help you gain the most benefit from the course, Train the Trainer was designed as a blended format. This means that you will experience learning both in an online environment and in a classroom setting.
You will complete the entire online portion before entering the classroom. Use the table below to guide you through each topic, one by one. Start at the top and work your way down this list.
Especially note the Homework column. If this column has an X in it, complete the assignment and bring it to your classroom course. Plan to spend at least 3 hours listening to all of the online presentations and completing the assigned homework prior to the first day of class.
If you are unable to meet this requirement, please contact your instructor immediately.
