Overview

This course is a review to help prepare supply professionals for taking the CPSD™ Exam. Participants will gain an understanding of the CPSD™ program and of the breadth of content covered in the CPSD™ Exam.

The course begins with a brief overview of exam content areas, question format and types, exam characteristics and test-taking tips. CPSD™ candidates will spend most of the course reviewing tasks weighted most heavily in the exam specification and where candidates may expect the most exam questions. Students will have the opportunity to identify areas for further study using ISM™ published study materials and other resources. Attending this course does not guarantee successful completion of the exams.

Note: This course does not cover CPSM® Exam 1 content.
