Overview

CSCP Certification Preparation

What does the CSCP program cover?

HPA’s CSCP preparation program develops an end-to-end view of supply chain management, from demand and sourcing to internal operations, logistics, relationships, risk, sustainability and technology. It prepares participants to study for the APICS Certified Supply Chain Professional credential offered through ASCM.

Who is it for, and what should you know first?

The published target audience includes managers, executives and professionals working in supply chains, as well as those seeking a broader understanding of the field. ASCM has removed its formal CSCP exam eligibility requirement; course readiness still depends on your familiarity with business and supply chain concepts. Check ASCM’s current eligibility information and discuss your background with HPA.

What practical knowledge will you develop?

The syllabus supports understanding supply and demand, comparing sourcing and inventory considerations, recognizing logistics and relationship issues, and discussing supply chain risk and improvement. Review the detailed modules below for the program scope.

Does course completion award the CSCP credential?

No. Preparation and certification are separate; ASCM sets the credential and exam requirements. Confirm course hours, language, delivery format, trainer, materials, completion-certificate details and exam-package inclusions with HPA before booking. Ask HPA about CSCP preparation.
