How does the eduKazi online CSCP work?
Whilst other institutions offer a once-off series of classes structured along the APICS CSCP curriculum, we believe that working supply chain professionals need the time and flexibility to learn and apply the working knowledge of CSCP courseware, at a pace that suites modern day work schedules. With this in mind, we offer our learners a year round repeating webinar based programme that has been designed to assist you in passing your exam the first time, whenever you feel confident to take the exam.
This structure helps our learners in the following ways:
- Can't make this week's session? No problem, watch the recording on your own time, or catch the session on the next cycle.
- Took a practice exam and need a refresher on a particular topic? Join that topic's upcoming webinar session.
- Have specific questions relating to a particular topic? Post your questions on the upcoming webinar question feed to get your questions answered live.
- Would you like more time to deal with a specific course chapter? No problem, attend that webinar session in the cycle until mastery is achieved.
Learners will have access to the online course platform, learning content (in addition to the APICS Learning System - sold separately) as well as live mentor sessions which are hosted throughout the year according to the prescribed lesson schedule. Learners are free to pick the sessions that they wish to attend live and make up missed sessions in rotation.
Learner support is provided via course discussion posts that relate to specific content areas, as well as via the live mentor sessions where questions can be asked in real-time with the mentor.

I’ll be traveling to France to meet with other supply chain professionals at my company’s central supply node. Members of my chapter are encouraging me to get more involved on the board of my APICS chapter and I’m looking forward to the unfolding journey that lies ahead. Overall, I’m so much happier at work and at home."

Course Team
I have wide experience and interest in the field of Supply Chain Management (SCM). This experience and interest has led me to exciting places and positions; such as the Supply Chain Manager of a major organization within the industry sectors spanning Manufacturing, Refurbishing and Distribution. These positions assisted me in becoming proficient in the standardization of all aspects surrounding supply chain and logistics, including the customer servicing field. It is through this that I have a strong background in the major ERP systems, as well as the requisite training disciples involved in the training of staff in ERP principles. My passion lies in teaching the principles of total Supply Chain Management (SCM) and Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP).
My life's passion is to be able to impart this wide range of knowledge to others, to be a part of the coordination and the training of future Supply Chain Practitioners, so that companies, and eventually nations, can be well served into the future.
