00:00:03.520 --> 00:00:09.080
We are excited for the journey you are embarking 
on using the CPIM Learning System. This system

00:00:09.080 --> 00:00:13.120
offers an adaptive learning experience 
that prioritizes your knowledge gaps to

00:00:13.120 --> 00:00:18.280
optimize the study experience and provide 
the most efficient path to certification.

00:00:18.280 --> 00:00:23.120
When you first log in, you will be taken 
to the pre-test page. Taking the pre-test

00:00:23.120 --> 00:00:28.720
is an important first step in your journey. Using 
your pre-test results, the Learning System serves

00:00:28.720 --> 00:00:34.680
up a study plan based on your current knowledge.
If you choose to wait and take the pre-test later,

00:00:34.680 --> 00:00:40.760
you can select My Study Plan to proceed directly 
to the content and study tools. However, you

00:00:40.760 --> 00:00:45.440
should know the system won’t have a recommended 
path for you without taking the pre-test.

00:00:45.440 --> 00:00:50.600
Beyond the pre-test page is the main menu. 
The custom study plan is anchored at the

00:00:50.600 --> 00:00:55.360
top of the menu and is designed to help you 
complete your studies in the most efficient

00:00:55.360 --> 00:00:59.920
way possible by populating content that 
matches your current knowledge gaps.

00:01:00.520 --> 00:01:05.080
Also found at the top of the menu is the 
expandable tool bar. This is where you can

00:01:05.080 --> 00:01:11.760
navigate to the reports, glossary, resource center 
and more. We’ll explore this later in the video.

00:01:11.760 --> 00:01:16.600
Below the study plan, you always have 
access to vast resources and tools covering

00:01:16.600 --> 00:01:22.600
topics tested on the certification exam. The 
materials are organized into eight modules:

00:01:22.600 --> 00:01:32.760
Supply Chains and Strategy, Sales and 
Operations Planning, Demand, Supply,

00:01:32.760 --> 00:01:41.520
Detailed Schedules, Inventory, Distribution, and 
Quality, Technology, and Continuous Improvement.

00:01:41.520 --> 00:01:47.040
You have the freedom to move cards on and off 
your study plan to personalize your path. Simply

00:01:47.040 --> 00:01:52.640
click the plus to move a card to the Study Path, 
and the minus to move it back to the Module row.

00:01:52.640 --> 00:01:58.360
In the module rows, each card represents a 
section covered in the Exam Content Manual.

00:01:58.360 --> 00:02:03.760
Let’s explore Strategic Scope and Objectives.
When you click Begin, you are presented with

00:02:03.760 --> 00:02:09.600
all the resources for this area including the 
reading materials, flashcards, and a quiz.

00:02:09.600 --> 00:02:13.040
Now let’s take a look at the 
online reading experience.

00:02:13.040 --> 00:02:17.120
The online reading material provides 
an interactive experience where you can

00:02:17.120 --> 00:02:23.480
explore and study the content in each area.
You should also review the flashcards to

00:02:23.480 --> 00:02:28.000
reinforce concepts you’ve studied. The 
flashcards can also be downloaded in a

00:02:28.000 --> 00:02:33.040
printable format from the Resource Center. 
Before concluding a study card, be sure to

00:02:33.040 --> 00:02:38.840
take the Quiz to ensure you’ve understood and 
retained the content you’ve been studying.

00:02:38.840 --> 00:02:44.000
You can also navigate to the material via 
the Learning System Navigator. By collapsing

00:02:44.000 --> 00:02:48.800
and expanding each area, you can access 
the reading, quizzes, and flashcards for

00:02:48.800 --> 00:02:54.120
each card represented in the Learning System.
Let’s move on to the expanding tool bar menu

00:02:54.120 --> 00:02:59.280
where you can access reports, glossary, 
resource center, and a search feature.

00:02:59.280 --> 00:03:03.680
You can see your progress on each quiz 
by clicking the My Quiz Scores. This is

00:03:03.680 --> 00:03:10.360
a great way for you to get a high-level look 
at your performance throughout the system.

00:03:10.360 --> 00:03:14.760
In the glossary, you have access to 
key terms and definitions using the

00:03:14.760 --> 00:03:19.560
alphabetical chooser or search option.
The Resource Center contains additional

00:03:19.560 --> 00:03:24.440
tools and resources to aid in your 
studies. Printable flashcards,

00:03:24.440 --> 00:03:29.760
content updates, and other relevant resources 
are housed here to support your learning.

00:03:29.760 --> 00:03:34.560
Enter key words or phrases into the Search 
feature to quickly navigate to specific topics.

00:03:34.560 --> 00:03:39.600
Once you are two weeks away from your exam date, 
if you haven’t already taken the Practice Exam,

00:03:39.600 --> 00:03:45.840
the Practice Exam card will appear on the study 
plan to encourage you to use this valuable tool.

00:03:45.840 --> 00:03:51.840
Remember, you can always change your exam date 
within your Learning System settings at any time.

00:03:51.840 --> 00:03:55.840
By utilizing all the tools available 
in the CPIM Learning System,

00:03:55.840 --> 00:04:00.800
we’re confident you’ll be prepared to 
pass your APICS CPIM certification exam!

00:04:00.800 --> 00:04:04.520
We hope you’ve enjoyed the overview 
and best of luck with your studies!
