    The Project Skills You Will BuildFoundations for Real Projects

    CAPM training gives early-career learners a complete grounding in project delivery across the four exam domains. By the end of the programme, you can speak the language of project management and support predictive, agile and hybrid work.

    Project Management Fundamentals

    Skills covered in CAPM start with core fundamentals, the largest exam domain: distinguish projects, programmes and portfolios, understand project lifecycles and roles, read a project charter, and apply the 12 PMI project management principles.

    Predictive, Plan-Based Delivery

    Work through the five process groups and manage scope, schedule, cost, quality, risk, resources and procurement. Build and decompose a WBS, apply the critical path method, and use earned value management at a foundational level.

    Agile and Hybrid Frameworks

    Apply the Agile Manifesto in practice and work with Scrum, Kanban, Lean and XP. Understand hybrid delivery, product backlogs, user stories, velocity and burndown charts so you can support agile and blended teams with confidence.

    Business Analysis Essentials

    Cover the business analysis content that carries real weight in the exam: needs assessment, requirements elicitation and traceability, models and diagrams, and solution evaluation, connecting stakeholder needs to project delivery.

    Stakeholder Communication

    Identify and analyse stakeholders, plan engagement, and communicate clearly across a project. Learn how power and interest shape engagement and how feedback keeps expectations aligned throughout delivery.

    Tracking and Reporting Progress

    Measure performance against baselines, apply earned value terminology, and build status reports and dashboards. Capture lessons learned so knowledge feeds back into how the next project is run.

    General

    What is the CAPM certification and who is it for?

    The Certified Associate in Project Management (CAPM) is PMI's entry-level project management credential. It proves you understand the fundamental terminology, processes and principles of project management. It is designed for students, recent graduates, career changers and project team members, and needs no prior work experience.

    Is the CAPM worth it in Costa Rica?

    Yes. CAPM opens entry-level project roles and is recognised by the 350+ multinationals and local employers operating in Costa Rica. Certified coordinators earn around 12.3M colones a year, with analyst and project roles paying more as you progress. Talk to a learning advisor about your career goals.

    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 degree, such as a high school diploma or global equivalent, plus at least 23 hours of project management education, which this training provides.

    How long is the CAPM certification valid?

    CAPM is valid for three years from the date of certification. Unlike PMP, you renew CAPM by retaking and passing the exam within the three-year cycle rather than by earning PDUs.

    Is the CAPM recognised internationally?

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

    Pricing

    What is included in the CAPM training fee?

    The fee typically includes PMI-aligned courseware, practice questions, mock exams, industry case studies, learner support and a course completion certificate with 24 contact hours. The PMI exam fee is billed separately. Request a quote for the full inclusions.

    How much does CAPM training cost in Costa Rica?

    Pricing depends on the format and schedule you choose, so the exact fee is available on request. Contact us for a quote tailored to individual or group enrolment. The PMI exam fee is charged separately in USD.

    Is the exam fee included in the training price?

    No. PMI bills the CAPM exam fee separately in USD, and rates differ for members and non-members. PMI individual membership also reduces the exam cost and gives you access to the PMBOK Guide 8th Edition and the Agile Practice Guide.

    Do you offer group or corporate discounts?

    Yes. We offer corporate group training with customised schedules and volume-based pricing for teams, departments and new-hire cohorts. Ask about corporate pricing for your organisation.

    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 is the format of the CAPM exam?

    The CAPM exam has 150 multiple-choice questions and a duration of three hours. It is closed book and delivered through Pearson VUE OnVUE online proctoring or at a Pearson VUE test centre. The exam is based on the CAPM Examination Content Outline effective January 2023.

    What does the CAPM exam cover?

    The exam covers four domains from the 2023 ECO: Project Management Fundamentals and Core Concepts (36%), Predictive Plan-Based Methodologies (17%), Agile Frameworks and Methodologies (20%), and Business Analysis Frameworks (27%). The training prepares you across all four.

    Is there a fixed passing score for CAPM?

    No. PMI uses a psychometrically determined passing score rather than a fixed percentage. Your result is reported as pass or fail with performance feedback across the four CAPM domains, so aim for broad mastery of all of them.

    How many attempts do I get for the exam?

    You are permitted up to three attempts within the one-year eligibility period that begins when your application is approved.

    What if I do not pass on the first attempt?

    You can retake the exam up to three times within your one-year eligibility window. Our mock exams, practice questions and trainer guidance are designed to help you strengthen weak areas and prepare with confidence before you sit again.

    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 essentials, along with stakeholder engagement and performance reporting. The content maps to the four CAPM exam domains.

    Do I need prior experience to follow the course?

    No. The course is beginner-friendly and built for those new to project management. Trainers introduce terminology step by step and use practical examples, so students, graduates and career changers can follow comfortably.

    Which standard and edition is the course based on?

    The course is aligned to the CAPM Examination Content Outline effective January 2023 and built on the PMBOK Guide 8th Edition and the PMI Agile Practice Guide, so your preparation reflects the current exam basis.

    Are practice tests and mock exams included?

    Yes. The programme includes practice questions and full-length mock exams mapped to the CAPM ECO, plus topic-wise quizzes, so you can identify weak areas and build exam readiness.

    Does the training meet the CAPM education requirement?

    Yes. The programme delivers 24 contact hours, which exceeds the 23 hours of project management education PMI requires before you sit the exam, fully satisfying that prerequisite.
