How the CAPM® and PMI® Are Different from Competitors

A CAPM® Certification:

The CAPM® is comprehensive and covers project management fundamentals, terminology, and processes, as well as predictive, adaptive/agile, and business analysis principles. It also delves into technical depth to give professionals a strong foundation. PMI® enables you to maintain your certification and keep your skills up to date and relevant through the 3-year re-certification program.

The CAPM® is regularly maintained and updated (last update was July ‘23), based on extensive market research, ensuring that CAPM® certification holders project management skills remain relevant and up to date. Equipped with the latest industry knowledge, certified professionals can apply best practices to their projects, leading to more successful outcomes.

PMI® offers a variety of certifications, and the CAPM® is a stepping-stone for further professional growth. As individuals gain experience, they can earn more advanced PMI® certifications, such as the Project Management Professional (PMP)®.

In the U.S.A it is $225 for members, $300 for non-members (exam). CAPM® -certified Project Managers in North America earn around 25% more than non-certified professionals. More senior Project Managers earn a median annual salary of around $125,000 in North America.

The CAPM® is considered highly credible as there is significant rigor involved in attaining the certification. The CAPM® covers a broad range of topics (the role of project managers, cost, risk, and resource management) under the PMI® reference, A Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK® Guide).

Students receive training, materials, and opportunities to network. It takes three easy steps: sign up, prepare for the exam, and take it.
