Certified Associate in Project Management (CAPM)®
The CAPM® qualification is similar to a provisional driving licence: it showcases that you have the necessary skills to drive a car and, should you pursue further lessons and gain more experience, it lays the foundation for your driving licence. CAPM® is the first step in validating your project management skills or in building your project management skills from the ground-up so that you can progress to an expert level in the future.
The CAPM® certification is based on the PMI’s Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK® Guide), which is a set of best practices for project management. It tests your knowledge and understanding of these best practices, as well as your ability to apply them in real-world situations. CAPM® is a fantastic route to gain a basic understanding of project management and to improve your ability to deliver projects on time, within budget, and to the satisfaction of stakeholders.
Once completing your CAPM® certification, you can benefit from progressing to the PMP® certification to validate your skills as a renowned, credible Project Professional.
