Certified Associate in Project Management (CAPM)

How does the Exam Pass Guarantee work?

We have found our Virtual Classroom training has provided higher pass rates, which has made us confident to offer an Exam Pass Guarantee, so you know we’ll support you until you have earned your CAPM certification.

With our Exam Pass Guarantee, if you do not pass the exam after attending this training course with us, you will be eligible to attend the same training again for free.

All we ask is that you:

•    Attend all class days and complete all assignments
•    Take the exam within 30 days of completing your Virtual Classroom training
•    Request your course re-enrolment within 30 days of the failed exam attempt

Please Note:

Students retaking the course are required to use the materials and books distributed to them in their original course session. Failure to provide these materials will result in the student being charged for replacement materials.

*Exam Pass Guarantee does not include the resit exam; this would need to be purchased at an additional cost.

Is the CAPM certification suitable for me?

The CAPM® certification is a great option for Junior Project Managers, or individuals looking to become a Project Management Professional. It is also an ideal gateway for those looking to attain PMP® status but do not yet have the hours of experience to undertake the PMP examination.

The prerequisites to sit the examination are a secondary diploma (A-Levels or a global equivalent) and 23 contact hours of project management training. We will help you exceed these hours through our training, giving you additional contact hours.    

From that point, you can then decide when you are ready like to undertake the 3-hour, 150 multiple-choice examination in either an online format or at a Pearson Vue testing centre.
