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

    The CAPM is PMI's entry-level project management certification. It proves your understanding of fundamental project management terminology, processes and delivery approaches. It is designed for students, recent graduates, career changers and project team members who want to enter the profession, with no prior work experience required.

    General

    What is the CAPM certification and who is it for?

    The CAPM is PMI's entry-level project management certification. It proves your understanding of fundamental project management terminology, processes and delivery approaches. It is designed for students, recent graduates, career changers and project team members who want to enter the profession, with no prior work experience required.

    Is the CAPM worth it for a career in Japan?

    Yes. With Japan facing a projected shortfall of up to 790,000 IT professionals by 2030 and pushing hard on digital transformation, employers value certified project talent. CAPM is a globally recognised entry credential, and certified professionals report around a 20% pay premium (industry estimate). Talk to a learning advisor to plan your path.

    Do I need work experience to take the CAPM?

    No. CAPM is the only PMI practitioner credential that requires no project management work experience. You need a secondary qualification (such as a high school diploma or global equivalent) plus 23 hours of project management education, which this training provides.

    Is the CAPM recognised internationally?

    Yes. As a PMI credential, CAPM carries global recognition through PMI's network in over 200 countries. Employers across Japan and worldwide accept it as a credible entry-level project management credential and a signal of commitment to the profession.

    How long is the CAPM valid and how is it renewed?

    CAPM is valid for three years from the date of certification. Unlike the PMP and other PMI credentials, CAPM is renewed by retaking and passing the CAPM exam within the three-year cycle, not by earning PDUs.

    Pricing

    What is included in the CAPM course fee?

    The fee typically includes PMI-aligned courseware, practice questions, mock exams and learner support, plus 24 contact hours that satisfy the 23-hour education requirement. It moves you from study to exam readiness with a supported path. Request a quote for full inclusions.

    How much does CAPM training cost in Japan?

    Training fees vary by format and are available on request. The PMI exam fee is billed separately in USD and is not part of the training fee. Contact us for a tailored quote based on live online, classroom or corporate delivery.

    Is the exam fee included in the training price?

    No. PMI bills the CAPM exam fee separately in USD. For reference only, it is around USD 225 for PMI members and USD 300 for non-members; confirm current fees at pmi.org, as PMI updates pricing periodically. Membership can reduce the exam cost.

    Do you offer group or corporate pricing?

    Yes. We offer corporate group training with customised schedules and volume-based pricing for delivery teams, PMOs and graduate cohorts. Ask about corporate pricing for a tailored quote.

    What payment options are available?

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

    Exam

    What does the CAPM exam cover?

    The CAPM exam covers four domains from the Examination Content Outline effective 2023: Project Management Fundamentals and Core Concepts (36%), Predictive Plan-Based Methodologies (17%), Agile Frameworks/Methodologies (20%) and Business Analysis Frameworks (27%).

    How many questions are on the CAPM exam and how long is it?

    The CAPM exam has 150 multiple-choice questions and you have three hours (180 minutes) to complete it. It is closed book and includes single-answer and multiple-answer question formats.

    Is there a fixed passing score for the CAPM exam?

    No. PMI uses a psychometrically determined passing score that is not published as a fixed number. Results are reported as pass or fail with performance feedback across the four CAPM domains, so aim for broad mastery of all four.

    Where can I take the CAPM exam?

    You can take the CAPM exam online through Pearson VUE's OnVUE proctoring or at a Pearson VUE test centre. Scheduling is done through the Pearson VUE website or PMI's portal within your one-year eligibility period.

    What happens if I do not pass the first time?

    You get up to three attempts within the one-year eligibility window from application approval. Re-examination fees apply to later attempts. Our practice questions, mock exams and trainer guidance are designed to help you pass with confidence.

    Course Content

    What will I learn in the CAPM training?

    You will learn project management fundamentals, predictive plan-based delivery, agile and hybrid frameworks, and business analysis foundations, mapped to the four CAPM domains. The training covers the concepts, tools and terminology the exam tests and everyday project work uses.

    Can a complete beginner take this course?

    Yes. CAPM is an entry-level credential built for people new to project management. No prior experience is needed, and the training starts from the fundamentals, so beginners, students and career changers can follow along comfortably.

    Does the training meet the 23-hour education requirement?

    Yes. The programme provides 24 contact hours of project management education, which exceeds the CAPM requirement of 23 hours and fully satisfies the education prerequisite for the exam.

    Which standard is the course aligned to?

    The course is aligned to the CAPM Examination Content Outline effective January 2023 and the PMBOK Guide 8th Edition, along with the Agile Practice Guide, so your preparation matches the current exam.
