The CAPM is a standardized test that is offered by the Project Management Institute (PMI). Those who pass the exam earn a Certified Associate in Project Management. If you earn this certificate, you'll have demonstrated your understanding of the best practices in the field of project management. This may make you a more attractive candidate for employment in the field of project management. CAPM classes can help you prepare to take the exam you'll need to pass before earning your certificate. Here are the topics in project management you'll need to know before sitting for your exam:
CAPM Exam Outline

A CAPM prep course provides a chance to work directly with your educator through a series of one-on-one learning sessions. The intimate setting that CAPM prep classes take place in ensures that you can work with your instructor on whatever part of the CAPM exam you feel you need the most help with. For instance, if you'd like to spend extra time on Project Communication Management, your educator can easily do that for you. When you take a CAPM prep class, you won't have to worry about following a predetermined syllabus that goes over topics in project management that you may already know. This level of individualization in the learning process is hard to replicate through other academic avenues.
Before you can take the CAPM, there are a few prerequisites you must satisfy. Below, you'll find information on how you can meet these requirements:
Prerequisites
- Secondary degree (high school diploma, associate's degree or the global equivalent)
- 1,500 hours of project experience
Or
- 23 hours of project management education completed by the time you sit for the exam. Our Project Management Basics online course fulfills this educational prerequisite.
CAPM prep courses are also helpful because you can use them to develop better test-taking strategies. Your CAPM prep class instructor can spend time going over time-management strategies with you. They can also show you techniques that can help you relax while taking your exam and otherwise reduce any test day anxiety you may have. You can use these strategies to enhance your mental clarity while taking your exam. Thus, when you sign up for a CAPM class with Varsity Tutors, you can get personalized help with the exam's content as well as tips for improving your mental state while taking this important exam.
Project management is an industry that is on the rise. If you'd like to take advantage of the increasing demand for qualified project managers, then getting a CAPM certification is a great way to get started.
