CAPM® or PMP®?

The Certified Associate in Project Management (CAPM)® certification is designed for people who do not have the required experience to obtain the Project Management Professional (PMP®) Certification. If you meet the PMP® credential criteria, you should definitely sit the PMP® exam.

The PMP® certification recognises demonstrated competence in leading and directing project teams. If you’re an experienced project manager looking to solidify your skills, stand out to employers and maximise your earning potential, the PMP® credential is the right choice for you.

If you’re a less experienced project manager looking to demonstrate your commitment to project management, improve your ability to manage larger projects, earn additional responsibility and stand out to potential employers, the CAPM® certification is the right one for you.

What's the difference between the PMI certifications and PRINCE2®?

The PMBOK Guide® is an umbrella term for several project management standards and guides produced by the US-based Project Management Institute (PMI), the world’s leading project management organisation with more than 600,000 members and more than 300 local chapters around the world. It is a framework - more detailed than a high-level approach to thinking about a task, but not as prescriptive as a methodology - and comprises several standards and practice guides, along with a complete glossary of Project Management Terms.

It is widely accepted that PMBOK Guide® is best practice in project management. Due to its solid reputation and applicability to a range of projects, all current or aspiring project managers should be familiar with the PMBOK framework.

PRINCE2® (short for Projects In Controlled Environments) is a process-based methodology of project management. It’s the de facto standard for the UK Government and is popular with government organisations everywhere.

Both offer processes, but the PMBOK® Guide is a collection of experience-based knowledge, while PRINCE2® is a specific set of techniques. Where the PMBOK® Guide is informative, PRINCE2® is instructional. If the PMBOK® Guide is a toolbox, PRINCE2® is an assembly guide.
