The APICS CSCP Learning System is intended to cover the body of knowledge tested by the APICS CSCP certification examination; however, the APICS CSCP Learning System does not “teach the test.” The Learning System focuses on acquiring knowledge, whereas the exam tests the candidate’s ability to apply that knowledge in accordance with accepted industry standards, Content on the exam is based on real-world scenarios and requires candidates to apply the concepts in the APICS CSCP Learning System. While both the APICS CSCP Learning System and the APICS CSCP certification examination are based on the APICS CSCP Exam Content Manual (which is available for free download at www.LearnCSCP.com > Resource Center > Certification Exam Resources), they are developed independently of one another. To preserve exam integrity, specific exam questions and their breadth are not shared with the APICS CSCP Learning System developers.
