What is CAPM Certification?
Earning the CAPM® credential shows you hold the foundational knowledge and skills that project teams demand. It also shows that you’re ready to take on a wide range of projects, including predictive (waterfall) project management, agile project management, and business analysis.
The CAPM® certification can be an essential first step in building a career as a project manager. It also allows you to position yourself to pursue other key certifications including the Project Management Professional (PMP®) designation.
The Project Management Institute (PMI®) now offers an updated 150-question CAPM® certification exam that covers project management fundamentals and core concepts. Updates to the exam include:
- Agile frameworks/methodologies
- Business analysis frameworks
- Predictive plan-based methodologies
The Pennsylvania State University is a PMI® Authorized Training Partner (A.T.P.) and is committed to enhancing the ongoing professional development of PMI Members, PMI-certified Project Management Professionals, and other project management stakeholders.
