APICS certification is pleased to announce updates to the certification maintenance program.
Beginning January 4, 2018, the maintenance program will include:
• Streamlined point structure for existing activities such as:
– Attending APICS sponsored conferences.
– Presentations and educational development.
– Volunteer service to APICS. • Point Categories consolidated into Education and Service.
• More ways to earn points –
– Reading relevant books or articles.
– Participating in relevant project management work for your employer.
– Participating in the APICS Mentorship program.
What has changed:
• Point categories are consolidated from 4 to 2, Education and Service. – Previous Categories
– 1) Continuing Education.
2) Presentations, publications, and educational development.
3) Service to the supply chain and operations management profession (SSCOMP).
4) Professional membership (PM).
• Activities and points under the category 4 model still exist and most of the points stayed the same, however, they were restructured and moved under the new category 2 model.
Examples below:
– Example – Professional Membership such as APICS is no longer its own category, it’s now under the Education category with the same amount of points available to the candidate.
– Example – Presentations are not in their own category they are under Education.
– Example - Previously under the Service category, the point scale was different if you were an APICS Board member or an APICS Certification committee member; under the new category these are all equal and capped at 5 points per year.
Candidates can begin to use the new maintenance point structure now when updating their application.
A new application process with the new maintenance point format will be available January 4th, 2018.
