    The CAPM training programme builds project management knowledge, practical understanding and exam readiness across the four domains of the current CAPM Examination Content Outline. By the end, you can apply core fundamentals and are prepared to sit the exam with confidence.

    Project Management Fundamentals

    Predictive, Plan-Based Delivery

    Apply traditional, plan-based methods across the process groups, from initiating and planning to closing. You learn to manage scope, schedule, cost, quality, risk, procurement and integration using tools such as the WBS and critical path method.

    Agile Frameworks and Mindset

    Understand the Agile Manifesto, Scrum roles, events and artefacts, Kanban, Lean and hybrid delivery. You learn how iterative approaches work and when to apply them, reflecting the balanced predictive and agile focus of the current exam outline.

    Business Analysis Essentials

    Build the business analysis knowledge the CAPM exam expects, including needs assessment, requirements elicitation and traceability, and solution evaluation, so you can connect project work to the outcomes stakeholders actually need.

    Schedule, Cost and Quality Control

    Gain practical grounding in estimating, budgeting and earned value basics, plus quality tools and resource planning, so you can help keep projects on time, on budget and to standard from your first role.

    Stakeholder and Communication Skills

    Learn to identify and analyse stakeholders, plan engagement, and communicate project status clearly. These people skills help you support delivery teams and report progress with confidence.

    General

    What is the CAPM certification and who is it for?

    The Certified Associate in Project Management (CAPM) is PMI's entry-level credential that validates your understanding of fundamental project management terminology, processes and principles. It is designed for students, recent graduates, career changers and project team members who want a recognised credential, with no project work experience required.

    Is CAPM worth it for starting a project career in New Zealand?

    Yes. CAPM gives early-career professionals a recognised way to prove their project fundamentals to New Zealand employers in IT, construction, government and financial services. With entry project roles starting around NZ$55,000 to NZ$75,000 and a clear path toward PMP, it offers strong return for those beginning their careers.

    Why choose Invensis Learning for CAPM training?

    Invensis Learning is a PMI Authorized Training Partner offering PMI-aligned courseware, PMI-qualified trainers, flexible delivery and first-attempt exam guidance. The 24-hour programme exceeds the 23 hours of education PMI requires, so you leave ready to apply and prepared to sit the exam.

    Do I need work experience to take CAPM?

    No. CAPM is the only PMI practitioner credential that requires no project management work experience. You need a secondary degree, such as a school qualification or global equivalent, and 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 the PMP, CAPM is renewed by retaking and passing the CAPM exam within the three-year cycle, not by earning PDUs.

    Pricing

    How much does CAPM training cost in New Zealand?

    Training fees vary by format and are available on request, so you can choose live online, classroom or corporate group delivery to suit your budget. The PMI exam fee is billed separately in US dollars and is not part of the training fee. Request a quote for current pricing.

    What is included in the CAPM course fee?

    The training fee typically includes PMI-aligned courseware, practice questions, mock exams, the 23-plus contact hours PMI requires, learner support and a course completion certificate. Speak with a learning advisor to confirm what your selected plan includes.

    Is the CAPM exam fee included in the training price?

    No. PMI bills the CAPM exam fee separately in US dollars, and PMI members pay less than non-members. PMI individual membership also provides free access to the PMBOK Guide 8th Edition and the Agile Practice Guide. Confirm current fees on the PMI website.

    Do you offer group or corporate pricing for CAPM training?

    Yes. We offer corporate group training with customised schedules and volume-based pricing for teams, PMOs and graduate cohorts across New Zealand. Contact us for a tailored group quote.

    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 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 is 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 2023.

    What does the CAPM exam cover?

    The exam covers four domains from the current CAPM ECO: Project Management Fundamentals and Core Concepts (36%), Predictive Plan-Based Methodologies (17%), Agile Frameworks and Methodologies (20%), and Business Analysis Frameworks (27%). Content is aligned to the PMBOK Guide 8th Edition and the Agile Practice Guide.

    Is there a fixed passing score for the CAPM exam?

    PMI does not publish a fixed percentage pass mark. The result is set through psychometric analysis, and performance is reported across the four CAPM domains. The best approach is broad, balanced preparation over all four domains rather than targeting a single number.

    How many attempts do I get and can I retake the exam?

    You get up to three attempts within your one-year eligibility period from the date your application is approved. Our practice questions, mock exams and first-attempt guidance are designed to help you pass with confidence.

    Which standard and edition is the CAPM exam based on?

    The CAPM exam is based on the CAPM Examination Content Outline effective 2023, aligned to the PMBOK Guide Eighth Edition and the Agile Practice Guide. Our courseware follows the same 8th edition and ECO so your preparation matches the current exam.

    Do I need prior experience to follow the course?

    No prior project management experience is needed. The course is designed for beginners, graduates and career changers, building from the fundamentals with practical examples and trainer support so you can follow along and apply what you learn.

    What learning materials and practice are included?

    You receive PMI-aligned courseware, practice questions mapped to the 150-question format, mock exams and topic-wise quizzes. These resources help you identify weak areas and build exam readiness across all four domains.

    Is the courseware aligned to the latest CAPM syllabus?

    Yes. The courseware is aligned to the CAPM Examination Content Outline effective 2023 and the PMBOK Guide 8th Edition, so your study reflects the current exam content and delivery approaches.
