Here we have collected all our guides on the Certified Supply Chain Professional (CSCP) for readers in Saudi Arabia. The CSCP comes from ASCM (formerly APICS) in the USA and covers the end to end supply chain: demand management and forecasting, global networks, sourcing, internal operations and inventory, forward and reverse logistics, supplier relationships, risk, and optimization, sustainability and technology. It is the credential we see most often in job adverts from Saudi manufacturers, distributors and the new logistics zones.
The guides below answer the practical questions: whether you qualify (three years of related business experience, a bachelor's degree, or an active CPIM, CLTD or similar credential), how the 150 question, 3.5 hour exam is scored (200 to 350 scale, pass at 300), what the Learning System and exam bundle costs (roughly the USD 2,000 range depending on membership, so please verify on ascm.org), what certified professionals earn locally, and how to keep the credential current with 75 points every five years.
We run CSCP preparation in Riyadh, Jeddah, Al Khobar and live online. If you would rather see the program first, the CSCP course page has the schedule and outline. Either way, pick the guide that fits where you are today.
