APICSでは約5年に1度ほど、実務家対象の調査を実施して、それを反映させて試験や教材内容を変更するメジャーアップデートがあります。CPIMについて、下記のようなスケジュールで来年予定されていますので、お知らせいたします。
なお現在のラーニングシステムの内容（CPIM 6.0）に対応した試験も、再来年、2022年の4月まで受験可能です（ただし、試験クレジットの購入は来年2021年3月30日までなど制限ありますのでご注意ください。）またPart 1を6.0で合格されて、期限内にPart 2を7.0で合格されても資格取得できます。
ASCM performs a job task analysis (JTA) on each certification at least every five years to ensure we follow certification best practices and relevancy in the field. Based on our recent JTA, the
content outline for the CPIM courseware and exams has been updated, and a new version, CPIM 7.0 (includes Part 1 and Part 2) will be released for purchase on February 1, 2021.
As an individual currently pursing your CPIM, we are working to make this transition as easy as possible. Through April 2022, we will be offering both exam (6.0 and 7.0) versions, providing
plenty of time to complete the certification process, regardless of where you are in your certification journey.
The timeline below outlines key dates relevant to this transition process. There are no exceptions for extending these deadline dates.
