Passing the CAPM Certification exam is challenging.

We are with you every step of the way.

No matter what you may read, the truth is that there is no easy path when it comes to CAPM exam readiness. Most students need 3-6 months of study before they’re ready to sit for the exam. What’s true of most, of course, isn’t true for all: some applicants will fall onto either side of that average, and a full 50% will never sit for the exam at all.

Benefits of Attending a CAPM Boot Camp

It doesn’t matter what you’re preparing for; one thing is always true: it’s easier to plan it than to do it. When you spend your days making crucial decisions, your well-laid plans often fall victim to diminished self-discipline by nightfall. Sure, you know you should be studying, but that knowledge doesn’t make it any easier to summon the motivation to do it night after night. An accelerated in-person CAPM Certification Boot Camp takes the temptation to postpone test prep off of the table and, instead, gives you space to immerse yourself in the materials. Our courses are designed to remove the distractions of your everyday life so you can fully focus your time and attention on the coursework and be exam-ready in less time than if you’d studied on your own

Our 3 day CAPM Boot Camp course gives you more than mere exposure to the fundamentals and concepts on the test. It provides a focused educational experience with a rigorous schedule. Throughout the course, you’ll talk through the concepts and situations with your instructor and peers so you can ground your learning and recall it when you need it.

Many an enthusiastic applicant has been struck down by the jargon-heavy style of A Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK® Guide). Interacting with an expert instructor who can translate the language into practical terms helps to ensure you grasp the content and lets you test your understanding. Studying with a group of your peers in a classroom environment can also help build and maintain your motivation for the exam. It’s easy to get distracted and lose focus when you’re alone at your desk with a book. Studying with others who share your goals can help keep you accountable and sustain or stimulate determination.

Your years of practical experience are the most valuable thing you bring to your role. Without them, you wouldn’t be qualified to sit for the CAPM exam in the first place. Distilling what you know from doing into the foundations and principles on the CAPM exam, however, can challenge even the most experienced project managers. Your CAPM Certification Training Instructor will help you connect your experience to the exam materials, putting what you’ve learned on the job into context so you can apply it on the exam.

Your Certified trainer is an expert project manager with in depth understanding of the training materials but also in exam readiness. Every student who enrolls in and completes the Certification Academy Boot Camp receives one-on-one guidance from their trainer and an individualized learning plan based on their current proficiency and progress towards their education requirements.

How valuable is the CAPM Certification?

CAPM Certification is a valuable credential that provides proof to current and future employers that you have a firm grasp of the knowledge, procedures, terminology and best practices that drive effective project management. The certification is achieved through the Project Management Institute (PMI) and is considered not only an entry-level certification for individuals interested in starting a career within the field of project management, but also a valuable asset for those who would like to manage larger projects or gain skills for their current roles. It is important to note that CAPM Certification is based on PMI’s project management framework, as outlined within the PMBOK (Project Management Body of Knowledge) Guide.

The Project Management Institute (PMI) doesn’t try to hide the truth about the degree of difficulty required to pass CAPM Certification exam: it’s a tough test, and many aspiring students walk away from it with a failing score. They’re not failing because they didn’t care or didn’t see the value in preparing. It doesn’t matter how much time or effort you commit to exam prep: if you don’t know what to study, achieving a passing score is highly unlikely.

You don’t do your job by reading a situational question and picking from among the available answers, so applying your real-world project management experience to the CAPM exam can be a significant challenge. For project managers looking for a way to overcome this obstacle, a CAPM Certification Boot Camp, like the 3-day intensive offered by Certification Academy, provides a practical, streamlined solution.

What's the difference between CAPM and PMP?

Understanding the Differences Between CAPM and PMP Certifications

Navigating the world of project management certifications can be daunting. Two of the most recognized credentials are the CAPM (Certified Associate in Project Management) and PMP (Project Management Professional). Here’s how they differ:

Target Audience

  • CAPM is ideal for those new to project management or professionals seeking foundational knowledge. It’s geared towards entry-level project managers or individuals with minimal project management experience.
  • PMP, conversely, is designed for seasoned project management professionals. It caters to those with significant practical experience and leadership abilities, ready to dive into the complexities of advanced project management.

Level of Expertise

  • CAPM covers basic concepts and terminologies of project management. It provides a solid introduction, focusing on the core principles and processes of the discipline.
  • PMP demands a comprehensive understanding of in-depth methodologies, advanced strategies, and leadership skills crucial for managing large-scale projects. This certification showcases a high degree of expertise and commitment.

Industry Value

  • CAPM is valuable for demonstrating dedication and a foundational understanding of project management, potentially opening doors to entry-level roles in the industry.
  • PMP holds higher prestige and is widely recognized across industries. It is often seen as a benchmark for project management excellence, typically required for senior positions and commanding higher salaries.

Prerequisites

  • CAPM requires a secondary degree (high school diploma or equivalent) and at least 23 hours of project management education.
  • PMP necessitates approximately 7,500 hours of project leadership experience and 35 hours of project management education or a four-year degree with 4,500 hours in leading projects.

Both certifications offer unique benefits and serve different career needs, depending on where you are in your professional journey

Does CAPM Expire or have to be renewed?

Understanding CAPM Certification Validity and Renewal Process

Validity Period

The Certified Associate in Project Management (CAPM®) certification is valid for a period of three years from the date of issuance. This means that every three years, holders of the certification must take steps to ensure their certification remains current.

Renewal Process

To renew your CAPM® certification, it is essential to complete 15 professional development units (PDUs) within each three-year cycle. These PDUs can be gained through various professional activities and educational endeavors that contribute to your project management skills.

Renewal Costs

If you’re a member of the Project Management Institute (PMI®), you will benefit from a reduced renewal fee of $60. For those who are not members, the renewal cost is $150.

By adhering to these guidelines, you can maintain your CAPM® certification and continue to be recognized as a qualified project management professional.
