New Certified Associate in Project Management (CAPM®) Exam Review Course from PM College® Prepares Future Project Leaders for Accreditation


REDINGTON SHORES , FL (June 13, 2006) – As the practice of project management becomes more pervasive within all industries, demand has grown for credentialing opportunities that recognize those working on projects. The ongoing success and demand of Project Management Professional (PMP®) certification from the Project Management Institute (PMI®) geared toward experienced project managers has prompted PMI to recently develop the Certified Associate in Project Management (CAPM®) certification for project team members and entry-level project managers to validate their basic knowledge of project management.

To help qualified candidates prepare for PMI's CAPM exam, PM College, the training and professional development arm of PM Solutions, is offering a new exam preparation course, "CAPM Exam Review." The course is designed for companies that are seeking to build the competency of those within their organization that are new to project management, and can easily be incorporated as part of a professional development career path program. The CAPM Exam Review course allows participants to fulfill the 23 hours of classroom instruction required to sit for the exam, and covers each of the nine knowledge areas and five process groups covered in PMI's A Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK® Guide) 3rd Edition.

Through lectures, practical exercises, and a CAPM exam simulation, participants will complete the course with a clear understanding of what they need to know to pass the CAPM certification examination. They will also have a familiarization with the elements of the PMBOK Guide 3rd edition, familiarity with the kinds of questions that will be asked on the exam, and knowledge about what to anticipate with the exam format.

Specific topics covered by the course include:

  • Project Integration Management
  • Project Scope Management
  • Project Procurement Management
  • Project Quality
  • Project Human Resource Management
  • Project Communication Management
  • Project Time Management
  • Project Cost Management
  • Project Risk Management
  • CAPM Exam Information and Study Hints

"Organizations are increasingly adopting project management as a formal career path, and CAPM certification is a proactive way to develop competent project managers who will serve as tomorrow's star project performers," said Dr. Jimmie West, dean of PM College.
