PMI research indicates that many project management qualifications do not reflect the practices and techniques being used by present day, entry-level project staff. The Certified Associate in Project Management (CAPM®) course has been designed to better align with the market needs of project professionals and reflect how project team members work on projects. Today’s projects require leaders and team members who understand a variety of project management approaches - and know when and how to apply them on projects.
In this course, you will apply the recognized practices of project management as defined by the Project Management Institute (PMI®) to successfully manage and participate effectively in projects. This highly interactive 3-day course explains how projects can be managed across the four exam domains defined by PMI.
We help you to not only understand the PMI framework, but also apply and tailor it for your projects. The core course materials have been authored by PMI, so you can be assured that they are directly aligned to the Exam Content Outline (ECO) and the CAPM® Exam.
Note: PMI states that successful candidates typically spend one to two months studying for the CAPM exam – this course provides an excellent foundation for your personal study.
What Can a CAPM Credential Do for You?
