[Former Member]

Dear friends,

Anybody knows an instituition that provides advanced MRP training or a MRP course with certification?

I've 3 colleagues that want to get the specialization in MRP and MRP II.

May you help me?

Ps: I'm from Brazil and if exists here is much better.

J,

You have posted this in an SAP forum. SAP markets software that supports MRP planning, but the focus of SAP training and certifications are competency in SAP software. If your colleagues wish to gain SAP certification, the first place to check would be SAP education and certification site. Again, this certification is only relevant for SAP software, although to become certified one must have a basic understanding of general planning topics.

The Professional Society that is generally considered to be the most significant authority in general on MRP type topics is APICS (Association of Operations Management; they used to call themselves the 'Association of Production and Inventory Control Specialists'). http://www.apics.org/default.htm APICs offers training and certification for MRP. In Brasil, APICS is associated with these course providers:

. ABAI - Associação Educação em Administração (IA)

. http://www.abai.com.br/

and

. T2 People

. http://www.t2people.com/site/pt-br/home.php

I know nothing about these last two organizations, so don't consider this as a recommendation, but just as a bit of info.
