CAPM Certified Associate in Project Management Certification Prep Course

Training Provided by Key Consulting With over 250, 000 Project Management Professionals worldwide, the Project Management Institutea s certification program is now a standard across all industries. While the Project Management Professional (PMP ) credential is targeted at experienced project managers, the Certified Associate in Project Management (CAPM ) does not require previous project management experience. The CAPM eligibility requirements are: High school diploma, associatea s degree, or global equivalent PlusEither 23 hours of formal project management education or 1500 hours of project management experience Having satisfied the eligibility requirements, a CAPM-candidate must sit a 3-hour 150 question exam. The exam tests the candidatea s knowledge of PMIa s Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK). Upon successfully passing the exam, the candidate becomes a CAPM for a period of five years. At the end of the five year period the individual must re-take the CAPM exam to retain their CAPM designation. (CAPM Certification Handbook from PMI) The key to passing the exam is to understand PMIa s view of project management. This means reviewing and understanding PMIa s Body of Knowledge (PMBOK), but also becoming familiar with how PMI expects project managers to apply that knowledge. Who should take this course? Individuals wishing to obtain an international credential demonstrating an understanding of the fundamental, best practice, project management knowledge defined in the PMBOK. Entry level individuals wishing to enter the project management profession. Individuals looking to advance their standing as project management subject matter experts in their organizations.
