Testimonial

What our members say

I passed the ACPP at first attempt. My career started as a sales representative leader at Adecco Ltd. in California. I managed several staffing-related to services as well as some outsourcing projects. I was interested in gettting a certification in Procurement Management. A friend at the UMES recommended AAPSCM. I spoke with a representative who set me up and within a month I got certified. The certification helped me get the store manager position at my present Walmart store in San Francisco, CA. I highly recommend this certification to people who are interested in operations management.

I was looking for a good certification in healthcare to augment my degree in Health Informatics and found the “Chartered Healthcare Procurement Solutions Professional (CHPP)®” appealing. After contacting the association, I decided to join as a Professional member. After two months, I converted and took the test. I passed on my first attempt, and this helped with my recent promotion at work. I would recommend you start with the Professional certification tests before the manager's certifications. That way, you could get accustomed to the questions. The test itself was not that bad and easy to pass.

I joined AAPSCM as a student member in my senior at Clemson University, SC with recommendation from my professor. I attended their inaugural conference in September virtually and took the exam that same month and passed. Since I joined the Spartanburg SC Charter, I have met many experts in Supply Chain from Africa and Bahamas and gained a lot from them. I have had opportunities to meet with many professionals who fell in love with Supply Chain management and had a great deal of experience. I recommend this certification to all who are interested.

October 15, 2022,The skills I obtained from the American Certified Digital Marketing Experts (ACDME)® online class training AAPSCM® were phenomenal. The online training lasted five (5) days with a facilitator – Dr. Matyus. After three months off due to the COVID-19 pandemic infection, I was able to summon up the courage to take the test. It was that easy and I got my certification in January 2023. By passing the test, I also became a chartered member and the association helped in circulating my new résumé in early February. Thanks to the additional skill set gained from the training, I was able to get hired right away from my second interview with a government agency in the state of New Jersey. Thank you to all with AAPSCM® who helped make it possible… from the training to career counseling guidance to the instructors to the career placement to member services. Thank you

My name is Cedric K Burrows, and I am currently employed as a procurement manager at AT&T. I was made aware of AAPSCM® by my former colleague who was a professional member. After much speculation due to a situation from another professional body I previously tried to join and was unsuccessful, I decided to go in and speak with a representative. At first, the phone went to a voicemail, but they were fast with email responses. This was one of the best decisions I’ve made, as I have been exposed to the latest technology in supply chain management, and hands-on training in their classes with Dr. Matyus was great. Ienrolled in the American Certified Data Analytics Managers (ACDSM)® program and as of March 26, 2023, became certified after passing the exam. I highly recommend the training offered at AAPSCM® to anyone looking to either begin a career or increase their knowledge of Data analytics in supply chain management, and I am telling of my friends about AAPSCM®.
