I just sat the fifth and final CPIM exam which makes it 3 lower level credits and 12 upper level credits in the last 4 weeks. If anyone is in need of upper level business credits or concentration credits for the BS (BOM) these exams aren’t too bad, especially if you have studied for Operations Management.
Matymus, these exams aren’t a way to meet the Production/Operations Management core requirement but they are a way to meet the concentration requirement for those enrolled in Excelsior’s BS BOM (Operations Management degree).
As for what others may think about the Pass/Fail aspect of these exams, the credits are ACE recommendations so I wouldn’t be surprised if a number of schools accept these exams for credit. Personally I prefer industry qualifications, they are a great way to enhance the resume, help one stand out from the pack when applying for jobs and if you can get college credit for them at the same time it is even better.
Regards
ttt... can you point me in the direction to the ACE site?
