The CAPM is an entry-level certification for project practitioners. Designed for those with less project experience, the CAPM is intended to demonstrate candidates' understanding of the fundamental knowledge, terminology and processes of effective project management.[1]

Exam syllabus

The CAPM exam is based on the A Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge, colloquially known as "The PMBOK Guide".[2]

The exam consists of 150 multiple-choice questions with four answers per choice. Candidates have 3.0 hours to complete the exam.
