With over 250,000 Project Management Professionals worldwide, the Project Management Institute’s certification program is now a standard across all industries. The Certified Associate in Project Management (CAPM®) does not require previous project management experience. The CAPM eligibility requirements are:
- High school diploma, associate’s degree, or global equivalent Plus
- Either 23 hours of formal project management education or 1500 hours of project management experience
Having satisfied the eligibility requirements, a CAPM-candidate must sit a 3-hour 150 question exam. The exam tests the candidate’s knowledge of PMI’s Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK). Upon successfully passing the exam, the candidate becomes a CAPM for a period of five years. At the end of the five year period the individual must re-take the CAPM exam to retain their CAPM designation. (CAPM Certification Handbook from PMI).
