What Is CAPM®?
The Certified Associate in Project Management (CAPM®) is a professional certification from the Project Management Institute (PMI) that validates foundational project management knowledge and skills.
Unlike the PMP® certification, CAPM® does not require prior project management experience. PMI describes CAPM® as a certification for people who want to build project management skills, start a project management career or demonstrate foundational knowledge to project teams and employers.
The current CAPM® examination covers four areas:
- Project Management Fundamentals and Core Concepts — 36%
- Predictive, Plan-Based Methodologies — 17%
- Agile Frameworks/Methodologies — 20%
- Business Analysis Frameworks — 27%
This combination makes CAPM® broader than a traditional introductory project management course, giving learners exposure to predictive, Agile and business analysis concepts.
