What
is the CPSM
Bridge Exam?
The
Bridge is a
single exam for C.P.M.s in good standing who wish to earn the CPSM
designation.
The Bridge Exam covers contemporary content and material not included
in
the
current C.P.M. Exam. It is comprised of 180 questions (all scored) and
candidates will be allowed three (3) hours to test.
A
Bachelors'
degree from a regionally accredited institution
and three years of full-time professional (nonclerical, nonsupport)
supply management experience are also required to bridge from a CPM to
the CPSM.
CPSM
Bridge Exam Prep
This
course is designed as a review for current C.P.M. holders as part of
their preparation for taking the CPSM Bridge Exam. It is intended to
enable candidates to assess the knowledge they have acquired through
education and experience against the content areas covered by the CPSM
Bridge Exam. It is not intended for those planning to take the full
CPSM Exam.
In this
seminar,
participants will gain an
understanding of the CPSM program and of the breadth of content covered
in the CPSM Exam. The class will begin with a brief overview of exam
content areas, question format and types, exam characteristics, and
test-taking tips. The majority of the class is activity-based, focusing
on exam content where candidates may expect the most questions. Through
case studies, questions and group discussions, CPSM candidates will
have the opportunity to cement their learning and to identify areas for
further study using identified ISM™ and other resources.
