CAPM

The Certified Associate in Project Management (CAPM®) Credential

Designed specifically for project team members, the CAPM credential is aimed at improving overall project success by helping to ensure project management knowledge. To become a CAPM credential holder, you must meet specific guidelines designed to objectively measure experience, education and professional knowledge. You must pass an examination that assesses your knowledge of A Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK® Guide), and you must agree to adhere to the PMI Code of Ethics and Professional Conduct.

Eligibility

Applicants must have:

  • Minimum of a high school diploma or the global equivalent
  • 1,500 hours of work on a project team or 23 contact hours of project management education

The CAPM Credential Examination

Applicants must pass a three-hour, 150-question, knowledge-based examination that uses the PMBOK® Guide as its only source. The questions are developed by individuals from around the globe who hold the CAPM credential and are monitored to ensure that the examination continues to be a reliable and valid assessment of project management terms and practices.

Examination preparation resources include:

  • Review the PMBOK® Guide Third Edition
  • Download and study the CAPM credential handbook — paying particular attention to the CAPM examination blueprint.
  • Attend Registered Education Provider courses developed specially for the CAPM examination.

Steps to Obtaining a CAPM Credential:

  1. Complete an online application or download an application and submit via mail (faxes not accepted).
  2. If you meet the eligibility requirements, you will receive an e-mail explaining how to schedule the exam.
  3. Individuals who attain a credential from PMI will be added to PMI's Online Credential Registry and may immediately use the credential designation after their name.
  4. In addition to these examination preparation resources, PMI's Basic Knowledge Assessment will help you measure your knowledge of project management and identify areas to focus on in preparation for the exam.
