Description

Gain more responsibility and stand out!

   Stand out from the crowd, enhance your credibility and effectiveness working on or with project teams.

   Open new doors. Project management is a rapidly growing profession with research indicating employers will need to fill 2.2 million new project-orientated roles each year through to 2027.

    Globally recognised. Join more than 50,000 certification holders worldwide.

Respected across all industries, and one of the top 2 project management certifications; the Project Management Institute's Certified Associate in Project Management (CAPM)® certification demonstrates knowledge of current best practice project management tools and techniques as prescribed in the Project Management Book of Knowledge (PMBoK® Guide) and is well suited to managers and members of a project team or junior project managers who don’t yet fulfil the experience requirements to sit the PMP® exam. Training for the CAPM® certification establishes the best possible foundation in project management practice.

For a new and emerging Project Manager or member of a project team, obtaining the CAPM® certification is one of the best ways to kick start your career and become familiar with professional project management.

Your questions answered

CAPM® or PMP®?

The 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 right 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.
