17. CPIM Instructor Quotes
“We see a growth in in-house CPIM Part 1 and Part 2 courses, one of the reasons I believe is the addition of the online learning system, which is really good and makes the CPIM much more interesting for students to learn from.”
“I actually told my class tonight that I was giddy about all the tools available to them and me.  We’re finally in the 21st Century! The tools are amazing and I’m really looking forward to working through them with the class. We spent a good portion of the class time navigating the tool and we received nothing but positive feedback.”
“I really enjoy teaching the new format and the students love the online tools. I like how they test critical thinking skills and make it easier for me to engage with the students outside of class.”
“I think these tools are just what we needed to modernize the training.  I SEE the value of the tool. I made an effort to look at what was available and how I could use them.”
Close on a positive note
