00:00:03.640 --> 00:00:09.120
We are excited for the journey you are embarking 
on using the CTSC Learning System. This system

00:00:09.120 --> 00:00:13.040
offers an adaptive learning experience 
that prioritizes your knowledge gaps to

00:00:13.040 --> 00:00:18.440
optimize the study experience and provide 
the most efficient path to certification.

00:00:18.440 --> 00:00:22.520
When you first log in, you will be 
taken to the pre-test page. Taking

00:00:22.520 --> 00:00:27.400
the pre-test is an important first step in 
your journey. Using your pre-test results,

00:00:27.400 --> 00:00:31.960
the Learning System serves up a study 
plan based on your current knowledge.

00:00:31.960 --> 00:00:35.840
If you choose to wait and take the 
pre-test later, you can select My

00:00:35.840 --> 00:00:41.520
Study Plan to proceed directly to the content 
and study tools. However, you should know the

00:00:41.520 --> 00:00:45.400
system won’t have a recommended path 
for you without taking the pre-test.

00:00:45.400 --> 00:00:50.680
Beyond the pre-test page is the main menu. 
The custom study plan is anchored at the

00:00:50.680 --> 00:00:55.320
top of the menu and is designed to help you 
complete your studies in the most efficient

00:00:55.320 --> 00:01:00.240
way possible by populating content that 
matches your current knowledge gaps.

00:01:00.240 --> 00:01:04.800
Also found at the top of the menu is the 
expandable tool bar. This is where you can

00:01:04.800 --> 00:01:11.960
navigate to the reports, glossary, resource center 
and more. We’ll explore this later in the video.

00:01:11.960 --> 00:01:17.080
Below the study plan, you always have access 
to vast resources and tools covering topics

00:01:17.080 --> 00:01:22.720
tested on the certification exam. The 
materials are organized into four modules:

00:01:22.720 --> 00:01:29.920
Supply Chain Transformation Overview, 
Preparing for Supply Chain Transformation,

00:01:29.920 --> 00:01:35.400
Executing Supply Chain Transformation, 
and Review of Supply Chain Transformation.

00:01:35.400 --> 00:01:41.160
You have the freedom to move cards on and off 
your study plan to personalize your path. Simply

00:01:41.160 --> 00:01:46.920
click the plus to move a card to the Study Path, 
and the minus to move it back to the Module row.

00:01:46.920 --> 00:01:50.560
In the module rows, each card 
represents a section covered in

00:01:50.560 --> 00:01:56.360
the Exam Content Manual. Let’s explore 
Drivers of Supply Chain Transformation.

00:01:56.360 --> 00:01:59.560
When you click Begin, you are 
presented with all the resources

00:01:59.560 --> 00:02:04.760
for this area including the reading 
materials, flashcards, and a quiz.

00:02:04.760 --> 00:02:08.120
Now let’s take a look at the 
online reading experience.

00:02:08.120 --> 00:02:11.720
The online reading material provides 
an interactive experience where you

00:02:11.720 --> 00:02:15.160
can explore and study the content in each area.

00:02:15.160 --> 00:02:19.480
You should also review the flashcards 
to reinforce concepts you’ve studied.

00:02:19.480 --> 00:02:23.280
The flashcards can also be downloaded 
in a printable format from the Resource

00:02:23.280 --> 00:02:27.640
Center. Before concluding a study 
card, be sure to take the Quiz to

00:02:27.640 --> 00:02:36.160
ensure you’ve understood and retained 
the content you’ve been studying.

00:02:36.160 --> 00:02:40.480
You can also navigate to the material 
via the Learning System Navigator.

00:02:40.480 --> 00:02:44.440
By collapsing and expanding each 
area, you can access the reading,

00:02:44.440 --> 00:02:48.840
quizzes, and flashcards for each card 
represented in the Learning System.

00:02:48.840 --> 00:02:53.360
Let’s move on to the expanding tool 
bar menu where you can access reports,

00:02:53.360 --> 00:02:59.240
glossary, resource center, and a search feature.

00:02:59.240 --> 00:03:03.800
You can see your progress on each quiz 
by clicking the My Quiz Scores. This is

00:03:03.800 --> 00:03:08.800
a great way for you to get a high-level look 
at your performance throughout the system.

00:03:08.800 --> 00:03:12.920
In the glossary, you have access 
to key terms and definitions using

00:03:12.920 --> 00:03:16.520
the alphabetical chooser or search option.

00:03:16.520 --> 00:03:18.880
The Resource Center contains additional tools

00:03:18.880 --> 00:03:24.440
and resources to aid in your studies. 
Printable flashcards, content updates,

00:03:24.440 --> 00:03:28.000
and other relevant resources are 
housed here to support your learning.

00:03:28.000 --> 00:03:34.560
Enter key words or phrases into the Search 
feature to quickly navigate to specific topics.

00:03:34.560 --> 00:03:39.360
Once you are two weeks away from your exam date, 
if you haven’t already taken the Practice Exam,

00:03:39.360 --> 00:03:45.560
the Practice Exam card will appear on the study 
plan to encourage you to use this valuable tool.

00:03:45.560 --> 00:03:53.000
Remember, you can always change your exam date 
within your Learning System settings at any time.

00:03:53.000 --> 00:03:57.240
By utilizing all the tools available 
in the CTSC Learning System,

00:03:57.240 --> 00:04:02.440
we’re confident you’ll be prepared to 
pass your APICS CTSC certification exam!

00:04:02.440 --> 00:04:06.160
We hope you’ve enjoyed the overview 
and best of luck with your studies!
