CPIM Optional Certification Testing

APICS CPIM exams qualify for test fee reimbursement by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) under the new licensing and certification benefit of the G.I. Bill.

APICS is recognized as an approved provider of CPIM education and certification to military personnel through DANTES, Defense Activity for Non-Traditional Education Support.

CPIM certification testing is a set of five exams. You may take as many different exams in one day as time and space permit; however, registration for exams must be at least four days before exam date. North Texas APICS will work with the client to set up exam registration. If any participants are registered fewer than four days before the test, they will be accommodated only if space is available.

Currently, testing is held on specified dates throughout the year. APICS is introducing a computer based testing (CBT) for certification exams which will increase the options for taking certification tests. North Texas APICS will assist the client in understanding which testing option is available and in selecting and signing participants up for certification testing. In some cases, it may be possible for certification testing to take place in a nearby community college. North Texas APICS will coordinate with the client for this option.

Optional certification testing is available for those who successfully complete the CPIM coursework.
