Regardless of your career stage, the Certified Associate in Project Management  (CAPM)® is an asset that will distinguish you in the job market and enhance your credibility and effectiveness working on — or with — project teams.

Organizations with standardized practices attain better results, as shown in our 2015 Pulse of the Profession® report. Because the CAPM® recognizes your knowledge of the profession’s preeminent global standard, you’ll stand out to employers and be poised to move ahead.

Project management is a rapidly growing profession. Through 2020, 1.57 million new jobs will be created each year and qualified practitioners are in demand. With the CAPM, you’ll be on the fast track to opportunity.

The 6th edition of the PMBOK® takes the CAPM to another level by explicitly acknowledging that project management life cycles run in a continuum from predictive to adaptive, and that the project manager must be aware of the following factors in each knowledge area: key concepts, trends and emerging practices, and tailoring considerations to ensure that the right project management tools are employed to maximize stakeholder value and project success.

The CAPM signifies that you speak and understand the global language of project management and connects you to a community of professionals, organizations and experts worldwide.
