APICS Announces Partnership With AST&L

As an APICS CPIM or APICS CSCP designee, you know how much professional certification programs can help you meet your career advancement objectives. 
To enable you to pursue your professional goals, APICS is pleased to announce a partnership with the American Society of Transportation and Logistics (AST&L). Now APICS designees can obtain the AST&L Certification in Transportation and Logistics (CTL) on a fast track using their APICS certifications to waive some of the CTL requirements.
 
APICS CSCP designees can waive the elective Supply Chain Management module and APICS CPIM/CFPIM designees can waive the required Logistics Management module. This represents tremendous savings in time and up to $490 for APICS members.
 
The benefits of the AST&L CTL program include:
 
  • Understanding of key strategies for improving customer relationships
  • Knowledge of how to increase the efficiency of supply chain operations
  • Development of analytical skills necessary to identify ways to improve transportation, supply chain, and logistical processes
Statistics show that individuals with certifications experience greater recognition from employers and receive higher salaries and better job security. Take advantage of this valuable opportunity to build upon your APICS credentials and keep your career on the fast track.
 
To enroll in the AST&L CTL program, APICS members should visit the AST&L Web site and complete an exam registration form. This form includes instructions on how to use APICS certifications to waive CTL exams. AST&L membership is required to participate in the AST&L CTL program, but the membership fee is waived with the purchase of the AST&L CTL exam.
 
For more information about the AST&L CTL program, APICS members are encouraged to visit the AST&L Web site or contact AST&L Customer Support at (202) 580-7270.
