    Yes. CAPM is a globally recognised PMI credential that helps you enter project management with no prior experience.

    How is CAPM different from PMP?

    What is included in the CAPM course fee?

    The training fee typically includes PMI-aligned courseware, practice questions, mock exams, downloadable resources, first-attempt guidance, learner support and a course completion certificate with the 23 hours of education PMI requires. Ask us for a full inclusions list.

    Is the PMI exam fee included in the training price?

    No. PMI bills the CAPM exam fee separately in USD under regional pricing, with a lower rate for PMI members than non-members. PMI membership can reduce the exam cost and gives access to the PMBOK Guide. Confirm current fees on pmi.org before applying.

    Is there a fixed passing score for CAPM?

    No. PMI uses a psychometrically determined passing score that is not published as a fixed number. Results are reported as pass or fail with domain-level feedback, so aim for broad mastery across all four CAPM domains rather than a single target percentage.

    How many attempts do I get for the CAPM exam?

    You get up to three attempts within the one-year eligibility window that starts when PMI approves your application. Our first-attempt guidance and mock exams are designed to help you pass on your first sitting.

    How long is the CAPM certification valid and how do I renew it?

    CAPM is valid for three years. Unlike PMP, it is renewed by retaking and passing the CAPM exam within the three-year cycle rather than by earning PDUs. No PDU accumulation is required to maintain the credential.
