do the related career and credential options available to you. The CAPM

A CAPM Credential can benefit professionals from all disciplines by

    management profession;

    management.

Professionals with project management skills are increasingly seen on the

to advance your career. This credential can go a long way toward
enhancing your employment and/or project assignment responsibilities —
and getting you recognized in the workplace.

CAPM candidates must first meet specific educational and project
management related experience requirements and then pass a
comprehensive 150 question computer-based examination.

Project Management Professional (PMP®)

If you enjoy the prestige that comes from being the best in your field, then
you’ll appreciate the professional advantages derived from attaining the
PMP, the profession’s most globally recognized and respected credential.
The PMP designation following your name tells current and potential
employers that you have demonstrated a solid foundation of knowledge
from which you can competently practice project management.

To be eligible for a PMP Credential, you must first meet specific
educational and project management experience requirements and agree
to adhere to a code of professional conduct. The final step to becoming a
PMP is passing a rigorous multiple-choice examination designed to
objectively assess and measure your ability to apply project management
knowledge in the following six domains: initiating the project, planning the
project, executing the project, monitoring and controlling the project,
closing the project, and professional and social responsibility.
