We are excited for the journey you are embarking on using the CLTD Learning System. This system
offers an adaptive learning experience that prioritizes your knowledge gaps to
optimize the study experience and provide the most efficient path to certification.
When you first log in, you will be taken to the pre-test page. Taking the pre-test
is an important first step in your journey. Using your pre-test results, the Learning System serves
up a study plan based on your current knowledge. If you choose to wait and take the pre-test later,
you can select My Study Plan to proceed directly to the content and study tools. However, you
should know the system won’t have a recommended path for you without taking the pre-test.
Beyond the pre-test page is the main menu. The custom study plan is anchored at the
top of the menu and is designed to help you complete your studies in the most efficient
way possible by populating content that matches your current knowledge gaps.
Also found at the top of the menu is the expandable tool bar. This is where you can
navigate to the reports, glossary, resource center and more. We’ll explore this later in the video.
Below the study plan, you always have access to vast resources and tools covering topics
tested on the certification exam. The materials are organized into nine modules:
Logistics Fundamentals and Strategy.
Demand Management and Supply (Capacity Management).
Customer and Order Management. Warehouse Distribution/Fulfillment
Center Management. Inventory Management.
Transportation Management. Global Logistics.
Sustainability, Reverse Logistics, and Risk Management, and
Logistics Framework, Metrics, Network Design, Transformation, and Improvement.
You have the freedom to move cards on and off your study plan to personalize your path. Simply
click the plus to move a card to the Study Path, and the minus to move it back to the Module row.
In the module rows, each card represents a section covered in the Exam Content Manual.
Let’s explore Recognize Logistics Fundamentals. When you click Begin, you are presented with all
the resources for this area including the reading materials, flashcards, and a quiz.
Now let’s take a look at the online reading experience.
The online reading material provides an interactive experience where you can
explore and study the content in each area. You should also review the flashcards to
reinforce concepts you’ve studied. The flashcards can also be downloaded in a
printable format from the Resource Center. Before concluding a study card, be sure to
take the Quiz to ensure you’ve understood and retained the content you’ve been studying.
You can also navigate to the material via the Learning System Navigator. By collapsing
and expanding each area, you can access the reading, quizzes, and flashcards for
each card represented in the Learning System. Let’s move on to the expanding tool bar menu
where you can access reports, glossary, resource center, and a search feature.
You can see your progress on each quiz by clicking the My Quiz Scores. This is
a great way for you to get a high-level look at your performance throughout the system.
In the glossary, you have access to key terms and definitions using the
alphabetical chooser or search option. The Resource Center contains additional
tools and resources to aid in your studies. Printable flashcards,
content updates, and other relevant resources are housed here to support your learning.
Enter key words or phrases into the Search feature to quickly navigate to specific topics.
Once you are two weeks away from your exam date, if you haven’t already taken the Practice Exam,
the Practice Exam card will appear on the study plan to encourage you to use this valuable tool.
Remember, you can always change your exam date within your Learning System settings at any time.
By utilizing all the tools available in the CLTD Learning System,
we’re confident you’ll be prepared to pass your APICS CLTD certification exam!
We hope you’ve enjoyed the overview and best of luck with your studies!
