A current guide to PMI CAPM certification, including eligibility, the 23-hour education requirement, 150-question format, 180-minute timing, Pearson VUE test-center or secure online delivery, item types, domain weights, break rules, and retake policy.
CAPM preparation should focus on PMI fundamentals, predictive planning, agile approaches, and business analysis. Candidates should verify PMI application status, Pearson VUE scheduling, ID rules, delivery choice, and exam-day policies before testing.
Use these points before applying for or scheduling the Certified Associate in Project Management exam.
CAPM is administered by the Project Management Institute (PMI).
PMI lists a secondary degree plus 23 hours of project management education completed by the time of the exam.
PMI says candidates can take the CAPM at a Pearson VUE test center or securely online.
The exam has 150 questions and 180 minutes of testing time.
PMI lists 135 scored questions and 15 unscored pretest questions.
The four weighted domains are fundamentals (36%), predictive methods (17%), agile (20%), and business analysis (27%).
Before scheduling, confirm the secondary-degree requirement and record 23 hours of project management education in the PMI application.
PMI weights CAPM content across fundamentals, predictive methods, agile frameworks, and business analysis. Study time should follow those percentages.
The CAPM includes multiple-choice and enhanced item types such as drag-and-drop, hot spot, animations, and comic strips depending on delivery mode.
Choose a test center or secure online delivery, then verify ID, system test, confirmation email, break rules, cancellation rules, and retake limits.
