| Introduction: |
The Project Management Professional (PMP®) certification from the Project Management Institute (PMI®) is sought after from leading organisations around the globe. It differentiates between those claiming to be project managers and those who wish to professionally demonstrate commitment to their profession, development and careers. The Certified Associate in Project Management (CAPM®) is an entry-level credential that enables the holder to demonstrate knowledge of the PMBOK™ Guide, kick start their career, and demonstrate commitment and interest in the profession.
The PMP exam is a four (4) hour exam of 200 multiple choice questions based on the five project management processes identified in PMI®’s A Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK™ Guide) with the percentage of questions against each process defined in the Project Management Professional Examination Specification.
The CAPM exam is a three (3) hour exam of 150 questions that tests knowledge of the PMBOK™ Guide.
The PMBOK Guide 5th Edition, is being released on on 1st January 2013, and is the basis of the exam from 1 July 2013. All 2013 courses recognise the changes and ensure students are ready for whichever exam they sit.
