    What Is the CAPM Credential?Your First PMI Credential

    CAPM certification training in Lausanne prepares you for the Certified Associate in Project Management (CAPM), the entry-level credential awarded by the Project Management Institute (PMI). It proves you understand the terminology, processes and delivery approaches of modern project management, even if you have never led a project yourself. The exam is set by the CAPM Examination Content Outline effective January 2023, and the syllabus draws on the PMBOK Guide 8th Edition together with PMI's Agile Practice Guide. It covers four domains: Project Management Fundamentals and Core Concepts, Predictive Plan-Based Methodologies, Agile Frameworks and Methodologies, and Business Analysis Frameworks. Roughly half the questions deal with predictive delivery and half with agile and hybrid ways of working, which is exactly the mix employers in Vaud run today. PMI asks for a secondary degree and 23 hours of project management education. No work experience is needed. Our 24-hour instructor-led programme meets that education requirement in full, so you finish the training eligible to apply. If you want a recognised first credential that travels across the Lake Geneva job market and beyond, start your CAPM journey with Invensis Learning.

    Project Roles Hiring in LausanneWhere an Entry-Level Credential Pays

    Lausanne pays well for project talent even at the entry rungs, with project coordinators averaging around CHF 76,500 a year and project managers around CHF 112,000. Demand is driven by the Health Valley life sciences cluster, the CHUV and EPFL ecosystem, engineering and construction around the metro m3 build, and international employers such as Nestle and Philip Morris International. The credential is the fastest way to show you can support delivery from day one.

    Why Lausanne Employers Are Short of Project Talent

    Lausanne employers need people who can support projects properly from the first week. The CAPM is the credential that says you can, before you have the experience to prove it. Start your journey today.

    From Helping Out on Projects to Running Them Properly

    Your Lausanne Career Shift

    Lausanne rewards project skill, but entry-level candidates rarely have a way to evidence it. The credential closes that gap in weeks rather than years. Here is what changes once you hold it.

    The Skills You Will BuildMapped to All Four Exam Domains

    The programme maps directly to the four domains of the CAPM Examination Content Outline effective January 2023, drawing on the PMBOK Guide 8th Edition and the Agile Practice Guide. By the end you can support a project end to end and sit the exam with confidence.

    Project Fundamentals and Core Concepts

    What you will learn in the CAPM starts here: tell projects, programmes and portfolios apart, choose between predictive, iterative, agile and hybrid life cycles, read a project charter, and apply PMI's project management principles and the Talent Triangle. This domain carries the largest share of the exam.

    Predictive Plan-Based Delivery

    Work through the five process groups from initiating to closing, build a work breakdown structure, run critical path analysis, estimate cost, apply earned value measures such as SPI and CPI, and manage scope, quality, resources, risk and procurement on plan-based projects.

    Agile Frameworks and Methodologies

    Apply the Agile Manifesto in practice: run Scrum events and artefacts, use Kanban boards and work-in-progress limits, apply Lean thinking and XP practices, and plan with user stories, story points, velocity and burndown charts on iterative and hybrid work.

    Business Analysis Frameworks

    Carry out needs assessment with gap and root cause analysis, elicit requirements through interviews, workshops and prototyping, keep requirements traceable, build process and use case models, and evaluate solution options against acceptance criteria.

    Stakeholder Engagement and Reporting

    Identify stakeholders, map power and interest, plan engagement, and report performance through dashboards, status reports and lessons learned so decision makers get what they need at the right moment.

    Exam Readiness and Application Support

    Practise against the 150-question, three-hour closed-book format, work through the four exam domains in proportion, and get guidance on documenting your 23 hours of education for the PMI application.

    What Our Learners Say

    Straight from Graduation into a Project Role

    Frequently Asked QuestionsHere's everything you may ask...

    Yes. It is the credential that lets you evidence project knowledge before you have delivery experience. Project coordinators in Lausanne average around CHF 76,500 a year and project managers around CHF 112,000, and life sciences, engineering and public sector employers screen for proven PM fundamentals.

    General

    Is the CAPM worth it for someone starting out in Lausanne?

    Yes. It is the credential that lets you evidence project knowledge before you have delivery experience. Project coordinators in Lausanne average around CHF 76,500 a year and project managers around CHF 112,000, and life sciences, engineering and public sector employers screen for proven PM fundamentals.

    What is the Certified Associate in Project Management (CAPM)?

    It is PMI's entry-level project management credential. It demonstrates that you understand the terminology, processes and delivery approaches of project management, and it is designed for people with limited or no project experience.

    Who should take this course?

    Students, recent graduates, career changers and project team members who support projects but do not yet lead them. No project management work experience is required at any point.

    How does the CAPM differ from the PMP?

    The CAPM is the entry credential, needing only a secondary degree and 23 hours of project management education. The PMP is the advanced credential and requires months of experience leading projects. Many professionals take the CAPM first and move to the PMP once they have logged that experience.

    Is the credential recognised by employers in Switzerland?

    Yes. As a PMI credential it carries recognition through PMI's network in over 200 countries, and PMI Switzerland reported a 19 percent rise in PMI exam enrolments between 2022 and 2024. Employers in Vaud treat it as credible evidence of project management knowledge.

    How long does the certification stay valid?

    Three years from the date of certification. Unlike the PMP, renewal means retaking and passing the exam rather than collecting PDUs.

    Pricing

    What is included in the training fee?

    The fee covers 24 hours of instructor-led training, ECO-aligned courseware, industry case studies, practice questions and guidance on the PMI application. Training fees for Lausanne are quoted in Swiss francs and are available on request. Request a quote and a learning advisor will confirm the current price.

    Is the PMI exam fee part of the course price?

    The exam is purchased separately through PMI, which bills in USD with different member and non-member rates. Confirm the current inclusion of an exam voucher with our team, and verify the exam fee on pmi.org before you apply.

    Does PMI membership reduce the cost?

    Yes. PMI members pay a lower exam fee than non-members, and membership also gives free access to the PMBOK Guide Eighth Edition and the Agile Practice Guide. Check the current membership and exam fees on pmi.org, as PMI updates its pricing periodically.

    Do you offer group or corporate pricing in Lausanne?

    Yes. Corporate group training comes with tailored schedules and group-based pricing for teams in Lausanne and across Vaud, delivered onsite or live virtual. Ask about corporate pricing for your team.

    What payment options are available?

    We accept major credit and debit cards and bank transfers, with instalment options on selected plans. Talk to a learning advisor to choose the option that suits you.

    Exam

    What if I do not pass the exam on my first attempt?

    PMI allows up to three attempts within the one-year eligibility window that starts when your application is approved. Your training gives you practice questions, mock assessments and trainer guidance so you go in prepared, and a re-examination fee applies to further attempts.

    What is the exam format?

    150 multiple-choice questions in three hours, closed book. It is delivered through Pearson VUE, either at a test centre or via OnVUE online proctoring, and is based on the CAPM Examination Content Outline effective January 2023.

    What does the CAPM exam cover?

    Four domains: Project Management Fundamentals and Core Concepts, Predictive Plan-Based Methodologies, Agile Frameworks and Methodologies, and Business Analysis Frameworks. Around half the questions deal with predictive delivery and half with agile and hybrid approaches.

    Is there a fixed passing score?

    No. PMI sets the pass standard through psychometric analysis and does not publish a fixed percentage. You receive a pass or fail result with performance feedback across the four domains, so aim for solid coverage of all of them rather than one strong area.

    What are the eligibility requirements to sit the exam?

    A secondary degree, such as a high school diploma or global equivalent, plus at least 23 hours of project management education completed before the exam. No project management work experience is needed.

    How do I book the exam in Switzerland?

    Apply through your PMI account, and once approved, pay the exam fee and schedule through Pearson VUE. You can sit it at a Swiss test centre or take it from home through OnVUE online proctoring, within your one-year eligibility window.

    Course Content

    Can a complete beginner take this course?

    Yes. The programme assumes no prior project management background and builds from first principles, with case studies and exercises that turn the theory into something you can apply at work. That is exactly who this credential was designed for.

    What is the CAPM syllabus based on?

    The CAPM Examination Content Outline effective January 2023, drawing on the PMBOK Guide 8th Edition and PMI's Agile Practice Guide.

    How many hours of training does the programme include?

    24 hours of instructor-led training, delivered as three full days of eight hours, four days of six hours, or six half days of four hours, depending on the schedule you choose.

    Does the training meet PMI's 23-hour education requirement?

    Yes. The 24-hour programme exceeds the 23 hours of project management education PMI requires, so completing it satisfies that prerequisite in full. It qualifies as an instructor-led CAPM course under PMI's Authorized Training Partner programme.

    Are practice questions and mock exams included?

    Yes. You get practice questions aligned to the 150-question, three-hour closed-book format, plus quizzes and case studies that mirror the balance of predictive, agile and business analysis content in the exam.

    Enrollment

    How soon can I start and how do I enrol?

    You can enrol online and join the next available batch, with live virtual sessions running regularly for learners in Switzerland. Choose your format, complete payment, and you get schedules, courseware and learner support straight away. See upcoming batches or talk to a learning advisor.

    What training formats are available in Lausanne?

    Live virtual instructor-led training online, onsite corporate group training at your premises in Lausanne, and focused one-to-one training on a customised schedule.

    Do I need to be a PMI member to enrol?

    No. Anyone can enrol in the training. PMI membership is optional, though it lowers the exam fee and gives free access to the PMBOK Guide and the Agile Practice Guide.

    Can I reschedule or move to another batch?

    Yes. You can reschedule or transfer to another batch subject to availability. Contact our support team and they will arrange it for you.

    What is the refund or cancellation policy?

    Refunds and cancellations are handled under our published policy, which varies by plan. Reach out to our team and they will confirm what applies to your enrolment.
