Though PMI’s PMP certification is the most recognized and valued certification globally, its requirements are intimidating for many lesser experienced project managers. PMP certification requires 35 hours of Project Management training and 7500 hours of real-time experience which most new project managers may not meet. To bridge the gap of certified and uncertified project managers, the CAPM certification was devised which only requires a high school diploma, 23 hours of project management training and 1500 hours of real-time experience as project managers.

Similar to the PMP exam, The CAPM exam is also based on the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK). However, while PMP exams are based on testing the practical applications of best practices of project management. CAPM only focuses on testing the fundamental principles of project management that are laid down in the PMBOK.

The CAPM exam covers 9 areas that contribute to project management including integration management, procurement, risk, communication, human resources, quality, cost, time and scope and five process aspects of a project namely Initiate Plan, Execute, Monitor, Control and Close.

In principle, the CAPM exam helps establish the basic knowledge levels of an individual thereby qualifying him for the role of a project manager. The CAPM certification is a good consideration for those who are looking for a stepping stone to kick start their career in project management.
