00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.880
We are excited for the journey
you are embarking on using the

2
00:00:02.880 --> 00:00:06.760
CPI and learning system. This
system offers an adaptive

3
00:00:06.760 --> 00:00:10.200
learning experience that
prioritizes your knowledge gaps

4
00:00:10.280 --> 00:00:13.880
to optimize the study experience
and provide the most efficient

5
00:00:13.880 --> 00:00:18.480
path to certification. When you
first log in, you will be taken

6
00:00:18.480 --> 00:00:22.360
to the pretest page. Taking the
pretest is an important first

7
00:00:22.360 --> 00:00:26.400
step in your journey. Using your
pretest results, the learning

8
00:00:26.400 --> 00:00:29.800
system serves up a study plan
based on your current knowledge.

9
00:00:30.400 --> 00:00:33.400
If you choose to wait and take
the pretest later, you can

10
00:00:33.400 --> 00:00:36.880
select my study plan to proceed
directly to the content and

11
00:00:36.880 --> 00:00:40.640
study tools. However, you should
know the system won't have a

12
00:00:40.640 --> 00:00:44.840
recommended path for you without
taking the pretest. Beyond the

13
00:00:44.840 --> 00:00:48.840
pretest page is the main menu.
The custom study plan is

14
00:00:48.840 --> 00:00:51.640
anchored at the top of the menu
and is designed to help you

15
00:00:51.640 --> 00:00:54.920
complete your studies in the
most efficient way possible by

16
00:00:54.920 --> 00:00:58.000
populating content that matches
your current knowledge gaps.

17
00:00:58.440 --> 00:00:59.960
Also found at the top of the
menu

18
00:01:00.040 --> 00:01:03.520
you is the expandable toolbar.
This is where you can navigate

19
00:01:03.520 --> 00:01:07.880
to the reports, glossary,
resource center, and more. We'll

20
00:01:07.880 --> 00:01:11.880
explore this later in the video.
Below the study plan, you always

21
00:01:11.880 --> 00:01:15.640
have access to vast resources
and tools covering topics tested

22
00:01:15.640 --> 00:01:19.440
on the certification exam. The
materials are organized into

23
00:01:19.440 --> 00:01:24.240
nine modules. Supply chains and
strategy, sales and operations

24
00:01:24.240 --> 00:01:29.960
planning, demand, internal
supply, external supply, and key
support function.

25
00:01:30.720 --> 00:01:35.440
inventory, detailed schedules,
distribution, and quality,

26
00:01:35.880 --> 00:01:39.640
business investments, and
continuous improvement. You have

27
00:01:39.640 --> 00:01:42.520
the freedom to move cards on and
off your study plan to

28
00:01:42.520 --> 00:01:45.960
personalize your path. Simply
click the plus to move a card to

29
00:01:45.960 --> 00:01:49.320
the study path and the minus to
move it back to the module row.

30
00:01:49.760 --> 00:01:53.280
In the module rows, each card
represents a section covered in

31
00:01:53.280 --> 00:01:57.080
the exam content manual. Let's
explore strategic scope and

32
00:01:57.080 --> 00:01:59.840
objectives. When you click
begin, you

33
00:02:00.000 --> 00:02:02.720
You are presented with all the
resources for this area

34
00:02:02.760 --> 00:02:06.840
including the reading materials,
flash cards, and the quiz. Now

35
00:02:06.840 --> 00:02:10.760
let's take a look at the online
reading experience. The online

36
00:02:10.760 --> 00:02:13.920
reading material provides an
interactive experience where you

37
00:02:13.920 --> 00:02:17.560
can explore and study the
content in each area. You should

38
00:02:17.560 --> 00:02:20.360
also review the flash cards to
reinforce concepts you've

39
00:02:20.360 --> 00:02:23.600
studied. The flash cards can
also be downloaded in a

40
00:02:23.600 --> 00:02:26.280
printable format from the
resource center. Before

41
00:02:26.280 --> 00:02:29.960
concluding a study card, be sure
to take the quiz to ensure
you've understood

42
00:02:30.400 --> 00:02:33.840
and retain the content you've
been studying. You can also

43
00:02:33.840 --> 00:02:37.800
navigate to the material via the
learning system navigator. By

44
00:02:37.800 --> 00:02:41.200
collapsing and expanding each
area, you can access the

45
00:02:41.200 --> 00:02:44.600
reading, quizzes, and flash
cards for each card represented

46
00:02:44.600 --> 00:02:48.120
in the learning system. Let's
move on to the expanding toolbar

47
00:02:48.120 --> 00:02:51.800
menu where you can access
reports, glossary, resource

48
00:02:51.800 --> 00:02:55.360
center, and a search feature.
You can see your progress on

49
00:02:55.360 --> 00:02:59.960
each quiz by clicking the my
quiz scores. This is a great way
for you to get a high

50
00:03:00.040 --> 00:03:01.760
high-level look at your
performance throughout the

51
00:03:01.760 --> 00:03:05.560
system. In the glossary, you
have access to key terms and

52
00:03:05.560 --> 00:03:08.440
definitions using the
alphabetical chooser or search

53
00:03:08.440 --> 00:03:12.200
option. The resource center
contains additional tools and

54
00:03:12.200 --> 00:03:16.200
resources to aid in your
studies. Printable flashcards,

55
00:03:16.280 --> 00:03:19.600
content updates, and other
relevant resources are housed

56
00:03:19.600 --> 00:03:23.280
here to support your learning.
Enter keywords or phrases into

57
00:03:23.280 --> 00:03:26.480
the search feature to quickly
navigate to specific topics.

58
00:03:27.040 --> 00:03:29.960
Once you are two weeks away from
your exam date, if you haven't

59
00:03:30.040 --> 00:03:33.520
already taken the practice exam.
The practice exam card will

60
00:03:33.520 --> 00:03:36.480
appear on the study plan to
encourage you to use this

61
00:03:36.480 --> 00:03:40.280
valuable tool. Remember, you can
always change your exam date

62
00:03:40.280 --> 00:03:43.280
within your learning system
settings at any time. By

63
00:03:43.280 --> 00:03:46.120
utilizing all the tools
available in the CPI and

64
00:03:46.120 --> 00:03:49.320
learning system, we're confident
you'll be prepared to pass your

65
00:03:49.320 --> 00:03:53.480
APICS CPIM certification exam.
We hope you've enjoyed the

66
00:03:53.480 --> 00:03:55.800
overview and best of luck with
your studies.
