Certified Associate in Project Management (CAPM) - PMBOK Guide
- Fourth Edition-aligned
Overview/Description
The Certified Associate in Project Management (CAPM) course is
designed for project team members, entry-level project management
practitioners and students at the undergraduate or graduate level
who wish to establish and demonstrate fundamental project
management knowledge through educational, examination based
credentials. For project team members and project support, the CAPM
improves communication with colleagues by testing project
management terminology and processes, and also elevates
contributions to projects. For entry-level project management
practitioners, the CAPM differentiates you from your peers by
demonstrating command of project management terms and processes. It
can also be a stepping-stone toward acquiring PMI's more rigorous
PMP credential. For students at the undergraduate and graduate
level, the CAPM provides a head start when entering the work force.
The CAPM certification is one of the few certifications available
at this early stage of professional growth.
