This has allowed them to carry out their work in an excellent way, bringing great benefits to their companies and increasing their value on the labour market. According to a recent survey from ASCM, CSCP certified professionals earn an average wage 18% higher than the market average.

CSCP certification is aimed at professionals who already have Supply Chain experience. “We noted that after its launch, mainly supervisors and managers approached this worldwide recognized certification,” said, Dr. Pfister, the Director of Advance School, APICS’ sole ELITE Partner of ASCM in Italy and Switzerland which has trained more than 500 professionals for this high profile certification. "But in the last years, an increasing number of professionals in staff of the Supply Chain Manager were enrolling in the CSCP programme. Nevertheless it is important to highlight that the concepts treated are suitable for professionals with certain seniority in Supply Chain Management".

The CSCP programme has become very famous and appreciated among the community of Supply Chain professionals at any level of the organizations: many companies, when issuing a job posting in the SC area, are mentioning the CSCP certification as pre-requisite.
