Great question!
Two printed books are available as part of the APICS CLTD Learning System, two with the CSCP Learning System, three with the CPIM v8.0 Learning System, and two are included in the CPIM Part 2 Learning System.

The APICS Learning System reading materials are available for viewing electronically. This allows you to read while on the go, eliminating the need to carry your printed materials with you while traveling or commuting. You must have an internet connection to use this feature, but protected PDFs are available for offline use upon request.

Note: CTSC is a digital only program with no printed books.

Great question!
Thousands of online test questions are available. New questions are added with each release of the APICS Learning Systems and our question bank is constantly evolving. All questions were written specifically for exam preparation..
