About The CAPM® Examination & Certification

The CAPM is a test of the information in A Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge®, 6th Edition. The exam changed on May 21, 2018.

In 2003, PMI began offering the Certified Associate in Project Management (CAPM). The exam for the CAPM® is considered easier than the PMP® exam, requires only professional education in project management not experience to apply, but covers the same topics as the PMP® exam. The CAPM® is appropriate for anyone that is looking to demonstrate their knowledge in project management. That includes those working on project teams, project leaders, and those associated with projects like resource and procurement managers.
There are two major differences: The CAPM® exam has 150 questions and the questions are more knowledge-based; the PMP® exam has 180 questions and the questions are more situational. Candidates for the CAPM® certification typically do not have the level of experience required for the PMP® application or they are experienced project managers that want to demonstrate current knowledge in the good practices of project management as documented in the PMBOK® Guide.
What is the Cost of the CAPM Exam?
The examination is computer-based and is comprised of 150 multiple-choice questions. The allotted time to complete the examination is three (3) hours. You may want to access the Exam Content Outline on the PMI website for more information on the exam structure and percent of questions by domain. The examination is offered around the world at PMI-approved testing centers or online. To find a testing center in your area please visit the PMI website. The current fees for the CAPM exam include:
