Studying with the APICS Learning System increases your preparedness and chances of passing the APICS Exam.

On average, we recommend 100 hours of study time to pass each exam, but you may need more or less time depending on your experience.  Candidates who test within three months of their studies are more likely to pass their exam, so purchase and schedule your exam accordingly.

APICS exams are administered via computer-based testing (CBT) at Pearson VUE test centers worldwide, and online through the OnVue system.
