TEST DE NIVEAU

Pour la prparation aux certifications de lAPICS: - CPIM : Certified in Production and Inventory Management - BASICS of Supply Chain Management de MGCM - EMF: Essentiel du Management des Flux

PRESENTATION
Les tests de niveau qui vont suivre vous permettront d'valuer votre aptitude prparer les certifications de lAPICS et de MGCM. Notre test de niveau vous permet de tester successivement: - your understanding of written English - votre connaissance de la logistique intgrale et de la gestion industrielle - your knowledge in Supply Chain Management and Production and Inventory Management Ces tests sont prpars pour que vous puissiez les passer chez vous, sous votre seule responsabilit. Il est donc de votre intrt de respecter scrupuleusement les rgles de fonctionnement que nous vous proposons. Leur non-respect vous donnerait une fausse ide des difficults de cette prparation et ne nous permettrait pas de vous conseiller utilement.

Ce n'est qu' la fin du cycle de prparation propos que vous pourrez y rpondre correctement. Si vous souhaitez ne vous tester que pour le niveau dEMF ou de BASICS il vous suffit de vous arrter aux lieux indiqus pour chacune des deux dernires sries de questions. Ce test est rserv aux professionnels. En effet, dans le cadre de leurs tudes, les Etudiants disposent dj de moyens pour valuer leurs connaissances, tel le TOEIC pour langlais.

REGLES D'ADMINISTRATION DU TEST

Ce test tant auto-administr, vous vous mettrez dans les meilleures conditions pour le passer. Vous devez disposer de: - un local o vous ne serez pas drang(e) - un temps qui peut atteindre ou dpasser 120 minutes si vous rpondez lensemble des tests.
