Certified Associate in Project Management (CAPM)

Certificate Exam Preparatory Course

The Certified Associate in Project Management (CAPM) is a credential offered by the Project Management Institute (PMI). The CAPM certification is designed for individuals who are interested in project management and have less experience in the field, as it demonstrates knowledge and understanding of the fundamental principles and terminology of project management.

The CAPM course typically consists of classroom or online training and culminates in a certification exam. To be eligible for the CAPM certification exam, candidates must have a secondary diploma (high school diploma or equivalent) and either 1,500 hours of project experience or 23 hours of project management education.
