An education question…
…the chapter would like to offer a CSCP Certification Exam preparation course. We’re attempting to gauge the level of interest among potential students. The details: The course would meet twice per week in the evening for three hours per session. The duration would be seven weeks scheduled to prepare students for the June 21st certification exam. The cost, including training materials, would be $1,295 for APICS members and $1,395 for non-members. This does not include the APICS exam fee. The location is subject to the needs of participants.
