The Certified Associate in Project Management (CAPM) is part of a PM certification portfolio offered by the Project Management Institute (PMI). PMI is the unabashed global leader in project and program management certifications. The CAPM is geared to professionals (not just IT pros or developers) who would like to take on more challenging projects but who lack the requisite education or experience to obtain the more advanced Project Management Professional (PMP) credential. The CAPM also serves as great preparation for professionals with an eye to more advanced program or project management credentials.
To obtain the CAPM, candidates must possess a high school diploma or associate’s degree (or global equivalent), plus at least 23 hours of project management education. PMI offers an online PM Basics class which meets this requirement. Course fee is $350 for member or $400 for non-members. The course prepares candidates for the CAPM exam and focuses on understanding PM vocabulary, understanding how PM processes and concepts work together and incorporating PM principles into your projects. Once the prerequisites have been met, candidates must pass a single exam ($225/members and $300/non-members). To maintain the credential, 15 Professional Development Units (PDUs) are required every three years.
In addition to the CAPM (featured above) and the PMP, PMI offers numerous other credentials focused on program management (PgMP), portfolio management (PfMP), business analysis (PMI-PBA), risk management (PMI-RMP), scheduling (PMI-SP), PMI Project Ready, plus agile certified practitioner (PMI-ACP).
