Do one still need to study all the 49 processes and their ITTOs or some? I can see in the new ECO that focus seems to be more on Planning processes. Expecting your response
I still go over the 49 Project Management Processes in the CAPM Exam Prep Seminar course update but at a different level than before. The ITTOs are not included in the new ECO but would still be relative to know at a base level for the exam and for knowledge and application purposes. I would not put as much of an impact on them for the exam.
Hi Joseph, hoping I can get this sertificate so I can go towards PMP. Found myself in the management role and soon to be 30, that should be the career I'm striving for. Will update what happens on the exam and in the meantime you earned yourself a subscription.

There are likely a lot of differences in how we teach the material but the material is likely to be somewhat similar. The exam is based on the Exam Content Outline (ECO) so any good instructor will be teaching based on the ECO.
Hi Joseph, thanks for the helpful video. I don't have any experience in project managing but I do have high school diploma, can I still study for the CAPM exam & start my career as a PM?
Yes, absolutely-you can study for the CAPM exam and start your career in project management with your high school diploma. The CAPM is a great entry point, as it doesn’t require prior project management experience. Focus on understanding the concepts outlined in my CAPM Exam Prep Seminar course and the CAPM Exam Content Outline, and you'll be well on your way. With dedication and preparation, you can build a strong foundation for your project management career. #keepmovingforward
It would be acceptable to use your Bachelor of Commerce degree to fulfill the educational eligibility requirement for the CAPM exam. PMI requires applicants to have at least a high school diploma or an equivalent secondary education degree, so a higher qualification like a bachelor's degree is more than sufficient.

Hello and thank you for your video. I am about to start a training for PM but I think I have to choose for the CAPM certification as I don't have any experience in PM. I wonder if the CAPM Exam Prep (Rita's course in a book...Second Edition) would be useful to read. I bought from someone and don't know how the Edition is relevant to an Exam? Does each year exams change completly according to new editions? Thank you Joseph. Khadija
Thank you very much for watching. I am glad you enjoyed the video! The CAPM changed in July of 2023. All of our course materials are updated to reflect the new changes from PMI for the new CAPM exam. You can view the CAPM training resources we have available at: instructing.thinkific.com/bundles/capm-power-pack If you have additional questions, please feel free to email our team at cs@instructing.com.
The requirements for the CAPM certification are as follows: Education: A secondary degree (high school diploma or the global equivalent) is required. Project Management Education: You need 23 contact hours of formal education in project management or CAPM training. You can earn this here: instructing.thinkific.com/bundles/capm-power-pack Project Experience: No project experience is required for the CAPM certification. All my best, Joe

I do not offer a boot camp. I have online courses and training materials available that teach students project management knowledge and fundamentals for the CAPM exam based on the Exam Content Outline. The CAPM Exam Prep Seminar I offer specifically provides the necessary project management training hours to apply for the CAPM certification exam. You are welcome to review the training materials at: instructing.thinkific.com/bundles/capm-power-pack
Hai Joseph, I am following your course on Udemy. Is it ok to study the PMBOK 6 for the new pattern or the 7 th edition is required? As I started with the 6 th edition I am a bit confused
Jaya, Thank you very much for being one of my valued students. As this video explains the CAPM exam is not based on the PMBOK Guide(s). You can utilize either PMBOK Guide but the most important element is to download the Exam Content Outline (ECO) and utilize it. Please feel free to email our team at cs@instructing.com with any additional questions. Our team is happy to assist you. All my best, Joe
A high school diploma or equivalent is accepted by PMI. A GED would be acceptable and under the same category in this circumstance. The CAPM Exam Prep Seminar contains 25 hours of project management training and does offer a certificate of completion at the end of the course. We look forward to having you in the course and celebrating with you when you compete the training materials and pass your exam!
Great question! Each certification is for a different level or application of project management and certifies the individual in the perspective area or level of project management skills. Much like other professions, employers look at the certifications as an asset to the person's skillset - the certification "certifies" that the individual has the necessary knowledge of the profession.
Hi Joseph. I'm thinking of shifting my career from "Technical Team Lead" to "Project Manager" role.I have approx 14+ yrs of exp in Software development. Would like to take ur guidance as what certification I need to take. Can u plz guide me & how to start my career as a PM or PM coordinator? In dilemma, shld I do CAPM , PMP(I think Im not suitable for this), CMS or PSM? Thanks 4 the wonderful & informative video.
Your qualifications up to this point will dictate which certification you should pursue to begin. If you do not yet qualify for the PMP, I recommend starting with the CAPM. As a Technical Team Lead, you have a good start, and the CAPM will give you an excellent knowledge base for the project management principles and foundations. You can also pursue the PSM certification, but I would recommend the CAPM certification first.
Hi Joseph l hoping to enrol into your CAPM seminar , I am studying for CAPM as well prince 2 foundation and practitioner, prince 2 agile , l doling it with a learning provider “ Learning people in London uk, l am getting my study resources together. Mark from London Uk

Contact hours are learning hours that must be earned to apply for an exam through PMI. You must have 23 contact hours (learning hours) of Project Management Education to apply for the CAPM exam.
Yes, there is some math in the CAPM exam, but it’s generally basic and focused on key project management formulas. You can expect questions that involve calculations related to: Earned Value Management (EVM): Formulas like Cost Variance (CV), Schedule Variance (SV), Cost Performance Index (CPI), and Schedule Performance Index (SPI). Critical Path Method (CPM): Calculating the critical path, float, and determining project timelines. Three-Point Estimating: Using formulas like PERT (Program Evaluation Review Technique) to estimate project duration or costs based on optimistic, pessimistic, and most likely estimates. Communication Channels: A simple formula for calculating the number of communication channels based on the number of stakeholders. The math questions are straightforward, and as long as you understand the formulas, you should be able to handle them easily on the exam. I recommend my CAPM Power Pack from Instructing.com to best prepare you for the CAPM exam! www.instructing.com/bundles/capm-power-pack
@@instructingcom thank you so much for that info! I'm hesitant now because I'm about to start the Coursera course to prep me for the CAPM exam, but my math skills are grade school level 😞. Everything else I'm excellent at. Do you know if the Coursera course contains math to prep for this? And is the math hard for the exam? I appreciate your help.
