    Hi All,

    I would like to ask for an advice. I am looking to get into Supply Chain Management career and I can't decide which way to go and what course to do.

    Can anybody suggest any ideally part-time course that is widely accepted by the employers out there and would help me? I have several years of purchasing experience but I would like the academic education to back it up?

    Anybody has any feedback about APICS or IIPMM courses?

    Thanks a lot.

    Hey any update on this?

    Did you decide to proceed with either APICS or IIPMM?

    I went for IIPMM at the end, doing a Level 7 course, third year. I was considering both but a great advantage for me is that IIPMM has lectures either in Dublin or Cork. If you are doing APICS, you need to study all yourself...

    I have a level 7 degree in Supply Chain & Logistics, market seems too competitive now to just hold a degree hence looking at going back :o
