10. About the New CPIM Program

11. Reconfiguration of Exam Objectives
The CPIM Part 1 exam (previously known as the Basics of Supply Chain Management) will remain as a standalone exam expanded to 150 questions and 3 ½ hours to introduce new technology-enhanced item types.
The CPIM Part 2 exam will cover the content contained in MPR, DSP, ECO and SMR (weighing 25% each) through a sampling process that we currently use for existing exams and be expanded to 150 questions and 3 ½ hours.
The CPIM body of knowledge would be minimally impacted and candidates will still be required to master the same knowledge, skills and abilities as in the current CPIM Certification.
Lisa:
In the new 2-module structure, the first module will be known as Part 1, previously known as the Basics of Supply Chain Management. This exam will essentially cover the same content outline as the previous Basics exam but will be expanded to 150 questions with a 3 ½ hour time limit. New technology-enhanced item types will be included providing the candidate with a more technology-rich testing experience. When this new exam launches, we will no longer be issuing certificates upon passing the exam. Since we are encouraging completion of the certification program, we feel that formally recognizing an interim milestone may impede progress. However, Individuals who pass Part 1 will receive a LinkedIn banner, similar to an electronic badge, that can be displayed on their profile indicating they have passed the CPIM Part 1 exam. Also, Candidates who pass the learning system final exam with an 80% or better will receive a downloadable certificate of completion while Partners who wish to continue recognizing this achievement may choose to issue their own certificates as well.
The second module which will be known as Part 2 will cover the content contained in MPR, DSP, ECO and SMR with approximately equal weighting among those 4 areas. This exam will also be 150 questions and 3 ½ hours in length.
Both exams will remain psychometrically validated and follow best practice certification exam development processes. There will be minimal impact to the existing CPIM body of knowledge as candidates will still be required to master the same skills and abilities as reflected in the existing structure.
Bob, can you talk about changes to the CPIM courseware?
