Reviews

"The PMI project management certifications are the world's gold standard. And, for those in the profession who have not yet accumulated the thousands of hours required for the PMP, the CAPM is an invaluable stepping stone — a clear indication of commitment and knowledge. Getting certified starts with successfully passing the CAPM exam and we have used this study guide with great success in our certification boot camps. Highly recommended!" —JP Peterson, VP Professional Development, PMI Tampa Bay Chapter

Earning your CAPM certification helps people work faster and more efficiently than ever before. This text is a must read to ensure a highly adept, well-trained project workforce — a key component of successful organizational delivery and growth." —Steven West, CEO, Project Insight
