Based on the PMBOK® Guide Version 7.0

Our 4 day CAPM® exam prep course prepares you to easily pass the 150 question, 3 hour CAPM® exam.

Our instructor-led, in-person, classroom
environment, combined with our on-line CAPM®
simulation test, work together providing you
the knowledge and insight needed to
pass the CAPM® exam and earn your Certified
Associate in Project Management credential.

While other providers typically present the CAPM®
material from the encyclopedia-like prospective of the 
10 knowledge areas, our course is unique in that we
present the CAPM® material in a natural format  
following the 5 process groups. We start with Project
Initiation and end with Project Closing. We feel this
is a far better approach to learning the CAPM® Exam
material and prepares you to apply it to your
organization going forward.

In addition to study aids and the on-line test
simulation, all of our participants will receive
their own copy of the Project Management
Body of Knowledge Guide-Sixth and Seventh Edition.
 
 
 
 
 
Attend our four day class...
take your CAPM® exam and
become certified!
 

 
   
 
 
 
"The course pulls together the materials in the PMBOK and presents it in a straight-forward understandable way."

How is the CAPM Exam different from the PMP Exam?
The CAPM and PMP exams are based on Blooms Taxonomy. The PMP exam is based on the higher levels of the taxonomy (Creating, Evaluating, Analyzing) whereas the CAPM is based on the lower levels of the taxonomy (Remember, Understand, Applying).

Membership in PMI has many benefits. Membership presently costs $129.00/year and generous discounts are available to students and retired professionals.

What score is needed to pass the CAPM Exam?
PMI requires a 61% to pass the test. Understand, though that this number should mean absolutely nothing to you because the test is difficult and structured with questions that are extremely tricky.

What is needed to maintain a CAPM certification?
Unlike the PMP Certification, the CAPM does not require Professional Development Units (PDU's) to stay certified. A CAPM Certification expires after 5 years. Most people test for the PMP at that point.

Am I guaranteed to pass the CAPM Exam?

Red Rock Research offers an industry-leading price, and an optional first-time passing guarantee for the CAPM exam. This means that if you purchase the guarantee, we guarantee you will pass the test on your first try. The CAPM is a difficult test and we take our guarantee seriously. If you don't pass the test on the first try we will pay for your second attempt. If you don't pass on your second attempt, we will pay for your third attempt. If you don't pass the CAPM on the third try, PMI requires you to wait an entire calendar year before your next attempt, and Red Rock will refund you the cost of the course minus the test we have paid for already. Check our guarantee against others and be sure they give you all of your money back, like we do. We have noted that many other providers keep a 'processing fee' when issuing refunds.

What is your pass rate for the CAPM Exam?
Pass rates vary over time. Of those attendees who follow our plan, about 8 out of 9 pass the CAPM exam on their first attempt. People who study pass the test, people who don't study have to take it over again.
