Exams

From 1 January 2014, all APICS exams are computer based testing.

Effective 4^th March 2017, APICS has scrapped Exam Windows. i.e., one can book and take the exam on any day of the year (subject to exam center space availability).

Note: Your online study tools are valid for 1 year and so it is advisable to study and take the exam before then.
