CDDL EXAM

PREPARATION COURSE

The Certified Demand Driven

Leader Certification 

Internationally accredited by the IISB, the CDDL certifies and validates knowledge on the ability to design, implement and sustain a Demand Driven supply chain. The CDDL Certification spans Planning, Operations, Distribution and Finance

How Does the CDDL

Compare to the CDDP?

There is some overlap between the programs. The material in the DDMRP and DDDRP sections of the CDDL is redundant on the CDDP Program material. The CDDP goes into much greater depths on these topics. That material, however, will constitute only about 15% of the total CDDL.

CDDL Course Preparation

Self-Study

Each Certified Demand Driven Leader Examination is comprised of 100 multiple choice questions chosen from a larger question pool.  Each exam provided is unique in the questions and sequence of the questions.  A passing score requires 70% correct answers.

The exam is delivered online through ISCEA’s iProctor system.  You must have a computer with good internet connectivity and a webcam to take the online exam.
