SkillSoft recognizes the importance of APICS to many of its clients, particularly those in the manufacturing, distribution and service sectors, and although SkillSoft does not offer courseware that is aligned toward APICS certification programs, our courses cover a wide range of subjects that support the professional development of APICS certification holders, and the time spent in training with many of SkillSoft courses can be applied toward the accumulation of professional development points, which are required to maintain a certification.

SkillSoft is an HR Certification Institute Approved Provider
Being an HR Certification Institute Approved Provider gives recertification candidates a ready reference to quality continuing education. The Approved Provider program eliminates the guesswork when taking continuing education courses by allowing individuals to know before they register if the activity will be counted toward recertification and if so, how many recertification credit hours will be awarded.
