What is the difference between a certification program and a mini-master class?A successful career in supply chain necessitates a never-ending thirst for knowledge and the most up-to-date supply chain skills and knowledge. Even though continuing education and certification programs can take time and money, they help get your specialized knowledge or skills recognized. The two most noticeable differences between certification exam preparation training and mini-master classes are cost and time. CSSC, CPIA and CSCL Certification Programs When professionals have knowledge and expertise that other professionals lack, it distinguishes them and sets them apart from the crowd. Certification and master classes show that the professionals are committed to learning, excelling, and using best practices. Certified individuals with appropriate academic credentials and practical experience can overcome and resolve day-to-day supply chain difficulties to the best of their industry knowledge and skill sets. Getting certified in CSCL, CSSC and CPIA certification programs requires higher dedication, time, money, and focus. Many professionals are struggling to find time to study due to the current global economic and social challenges. Some professionals do allocate time, but they do have financial constraints. Some professionals have the time and can manage the associated costs of the certification program, but they have social or economic problems that make it hard for them to focus on their studies, which is what they need to do to prepare for a certification exam on top of their regular jobs. The cost of the certification examination preparation is US $1,450 including the exam. At least 2 to 3 months are required to complete all the lectures, study the Body of Knowledge (BoK), practice exams, and schedule a final exam. Explore certification program: https://www.vcare.international/certifications Mini-Master and Master Classes In today's workplace, it's important to have a competitive edge. VCARE Academy's Mini-Master and Master Classes will help professionals understand the concepts, frameworks, and approaches in the most advanced topics, such as supply chain sustainability, sustainable procurement, supply chain circularity, waste elimination, production process improvement, logistics performance optimization, improving collaboration between stakeholders, supply chain strategy implementation, and many more. A Mini-Master and Master Classes are far more convenient, cheaper, and less time-consuming than a full-fledged certification exam preparation training course but enable professionals to stand out from the crowd by staying up to date on the latest supply chain skills and knowledge, allowing them to continue growing and building a successful career in supply chain. The Mini-Master and Master Classes are designed by keeping in mind the current global economic and social challenges faced by professionals. The cost of a Mini-Master and Master Classes are ranges from US $85 - US $495 including the exam It takes two to three days, but not more than a week, to watch and study all the lectures, taking notes, doing the quiz, and completing the course.At VCARE Academy, we believe that professionals must have access to 100% practical education at an affordable price. Therefore, we offer partial scholarships through the capacity building initiative. Explore Mini-Master classes: https://www.vcare.international/mmc Capacity Building Initiative VCARE Academy’s capacity-building initiative aims to educate, engage, and empower professionals, women in the supply chain, and deserving students. Capacity-building efforts mostly target underdeveloped nations, and subsidies and partial funding are not always available. To find out about availability and how to apply, please email support@vcare.international. Please keep in mind that partial scholarships only cover a portion of the total fees and are not 100% scholarships.

Who is VCARE Academy?A Body for Your Professional Certification We Left the Theory at the Door VCARE Academy is the world's first knowledge body, established with its primary focus on the value chain. VCARE Academy’s aim is to focus on driving 100 percent practical and operational education, teaching both the WHAT and HOW of supply chain operations, setting a new direction and a different perspective to supply chain aspirants and has a global footprint VCARE’s dedicated research and development team is constantly developing internationally recognized accredited certification programs and partnering with many International affiliates around the globe to provide internationally accepted professional qualifications. During the past three decades several supply chain certification bodies have been established; however, in the main most of the education offerings have concentrated on the theoretical aspects of the subject matter and fell short on the practical applications. These certification programs enhance the thought process of the professionals, but many certified professionals are unable to implement the theory into practice without some extra help along the way. So, after several years of research, VCARE Academy has taken the initiative and is launching a series of supply chain certification programs to fill the existing gap in the supply chain education. These certification programs are purely based on the practical aspect of the many facets of the supply chain.

Why do I have to consider taking the practise exam?The practise exam's objective is to provide learners with an insight into their level of preparation, which they acquire by taking the online on-demand lectures and reading/studying the BoK (Body of Knowledge). The score of the practise exam has no effect on the final exam. It is important to remember that learners may only take one practise exam once. The practise exam determines whether learners still need to study the BoK (Body of Knowledge) and online on-demand lectures for modules before appearing on the final exam.
-
When do I need to ask to take the practice exams?We highly recommend that learners request access to the practise exam after they have finished the online on-demand lectures for a specific module and its subparts and have studied the modules and their subparts from BoK (Body of Knowledge) once or twice to strengthen their knowledge of the concepts, and when they feel satisfied that they are fully prepared for the individual module. It's important to note that you may go through the lectures again and again, or in other words, as many times as you want to improve your understanding of the concept.

What does my score on a practice exam tell me about how well I've studied and what should I do?Observations and statistics on the practise exam results Below are some key takeaways from the practise exam results that you may use to plan for the final exam. Obtain a score of less than 55% Learners lack a thorough understanding of the concept and do not effectively study the BoK (Body of Knowledge). We highly suggest learners review the online on-demand lectures and BoK (Body of Knowledge) one more time before taking the final exam to ensure that they understand the concepts. Obtain a score of 55% to 65% The learners have a reasonable understanding of the concepts, but not enough to pass the final exam. We highly suggest learners review the online on-demand lectures and BoK (Body of Knowledge) one more time before taking the final exam to ensure that they understand the concepts. Obtain a score of 65% to 80% Learners have a reasonable understanding of the concepts, but they still need to improve in order to pass the final exam. We strongly advise learners to go over the BoK (Body of Knowledge) one more time to solidify their understanding of the concepts before taking the final exam. Obtain a score of above 85% Learners have a strong grasp of the concepts and have thoroughly reviewed the online on-demand lectures and the BoK (Body of Knowledge). We highly advise them to go through the online on-demand lectures one more time to guarantee that they win the final on their first attempt. We acknowledge that every learner is unique, and that everyone has a distinctive learning style and potential. A successful method Learners may choose to ignore the above insights and suggestions, but it has been seen that 75% of learners who ignore them are unsuccessful on their first attempt at the final exam and require a repeat of the whole activity for their second attempt
