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.

What Can a CAPM® Credential Do for You?

According to PMI, being CAPM® certified creates opportunities for entry-level project management roles like project coordinator associate and junior project manager.

Earning your CAPM® certification means automatically meeting the 35 hours of project management education and training required to sit for the PMP exam.
