You must also be aware of the certifications governed by PMI if you are connected to the field of project management. In reality, the certifications offered by PMI will help professionals improve their career graph. CAPM and PMP are two of the most common certifications for project managers. In the professional sector, they both have truly high demand. However, while CAPM is an entry-level qualification for beginners in the industry, PMP is one of the most advanced project management certifications that can help to improve the careers of even highly experienced professionals. You can review your PMP and CAPM exam eligibility based on the detailed eligibility requirements listed below:
PMP Exam Detailed Eligibility Criteria:
- The candidates should have a high school degree with a minimum educational qualification along with a 5-year job experience. Three years of experience is required for people with a secondary degree or higher.
- High school diploma holders must have done skilled work for a total of 7500 hours as a project manager. In the same way, degree holders need 4500.
- Apart from the above requirements, candidates are also expected to complete a 35-hour PMP exam prep and training course successfully in order to become eligible for the exam.
CAPM Exam Detailed Eligibility Criteria:
- The applicant must have completed at least high school or some other prerequisite for higher education.
- He/she should have obtained a minimum of 1500 hours of relevant experience working as a project manager, regardless of the job experience duration. However, if the applicant does not have the experience of the giver, the applicant can complete a standardised 23-hour CAPM course and become qualified to apply for the test.
There could not be a better certification for you in the field if you are eligible to appear for the PMP exam. However, you can still go for the CAPM qualification, which does not require any compulsory work experience, if your work experience does not allow you to do so. We can assure you that it will certainly bring about a positive shift in your career to win with credentials offered by PMI as well as IIBA (CBAP, CCBA, ECBA Certification, etc.).
