Description:
This online warehouse training course will teach students what is meant by warehousing, definitions, its importance, related functions, types of facilities, and more. Also covered in this course are warehouse design and space required, equipment, operating activities, and locator systems, product identification and distribution training.
This warehouse training course is also Part 1 of the Preparation for Certified Professional in Distribution and Warehousing (CPDW) Exam course, which is one of the requirements for the CPDW program. Anyone who takes this Course 1214, Distribution and Warehouse Management will be given credit for having completed Part 1 of the CPDW prep course, and if all three parts are completed individually a student will be allowed to take the CPDW examination for a fee of $80. Anyone who registers and takes this warehouse training course now will be given unlimited access up until the time the exam is registered for and taken. You'll learn about distribution training and supply management at the completion of this warehouse training course.
The other two parts of the CPDW prep course are Course 2016B Inventory for Distribution and Warehousing and Course 1215 Management Operations and Logistics.
The CPDW must be applied for separately and there will be a separate application processing fee.
The self-running online warehouse and distribution training courses are attended via the Internet. Warehouse management classes require up to two or three continuous hours of attendance. Students are initially contacted by email with instructions on how to take the course for which they have registered. Students may attend the course at any time during the day. This makes the operations and warehouse management training course more convenient for students with busy schedules. All materials are included in the price of the course and will be available online while attending classes. These warehouse training courses are nonrefundable. Instructions for these warehouse logistics training courses are usually sent within a few days of registration. Normally, the Society likes to see these types of courses completed within a month of having sent out the instructions. If too much time elapses without a course being completed the student may have to register for it again.
It is each student's responsibility to contact the Society if instructions are not received within the time frames listed above. Failure to do so may result in additional fees. Students can contact the Society at 630-859-0250 or at propurch@propurch.com.
