Don’t bother with APICS certs. Super basic models. It’s a joke.

LSS green/black belt is how to find the problems, APICS is how to solve the problems. I personally enjoyed what I learned in APICS. I think it’s a valuable certification to have

I kinda want to take it, but studying is a drag. The internal courses we got are so basic its mind numbing. But I know the exams are gonna be a lot more complex so I dont think I cant skip the material

Is apics really as basic as the training makes it out to be?

No, the studying is basic, but the exams are tricky.
