APICS 2008 CIRM Exam Dates
First Four CIRM Exams: Throughout the months of January, March, and May 2008

    • Enterprise Concepts and Fundamentals (ECF)
    • Identifying and Creating Demand (ICD)
    • Designing Products and Processes (DPP)
    • Delivering Products and Services (DPS)


Fifth and Final CIRM Exam:

    • Integrated Enterprise Management (IEM) Exam: March 29-April 6


Integrated Enterprise Management (IEM) Exam
The remaining two IEM exam administrations are scheduled for December 10-16, 2007 and March 29-April 6, 2008. After the March 29-April 6 administration window in 2008, the IEM exam will no longer be available.

Please note that APICS discontinued the eligibility requirements for the IEM exam. Candidates are no longer required to pass the first four CIRM exams before being allowed to take the IEM exam. Although candidates are strongly encouraged to take the first four CIRM exams before the IEM exam, APICS recognizes that increased flexibility is desired by in-process candidates because of the limited administration windows. 

Registration Fees
The 2008 CIRM exam registration fees for North America are as follows.

    • APICS Members: $160.00 per exam
    • Nonmembers: $195.00 per exam


FURTHER INFORMATION
The certification section of the APICS Web site will be updated with the 2008 dates in the next several days. The certification registration bulletins will be available after the 2008 fees are finalized in October 2007.
