This video explains the CAPM exam process in a step-by-step manner. With it, you will understand how to proceed with the certification, the audit and its requirements, appearing in the exam and continuing with your CAPM certification.
I’ve tried to address as many questions as I can. If you have any other questions, please send me an email at managementyogi@gmail.com.
Question – 1: How different CAPM is compared to the PMP certification? Answer:The Project Management Professional Certification (PMP®) is an advanced certification for project management. You can call it a professional level of certification in project management.
The Certified Associate in Project Management (CAPM®) is a basic certification for project management practitioners. You can say it to be an associate level certification in project management.
However, basic or associate level does not mean that the certification will be a cake-walk. You need to spend a good amount of time to prepare and crack the exam considering (not 1 or 2 days or 2/4 weeks of time). Nevertheless, compared to PMP, it's easier.
In your professional resume, it’ll be valued. A CAPM certification means that you have a good foundational understanding of project management. It's recognized and well-accepted across industry verticals.
Question – 2: Why should one go for the CAPM certification? Answer: It's subjective and dependent on your choice and needs. However, to help you make your decisions, here are some important notes about the CAPM certification:
Well recognized in various industry verticals.
You will be recognized and respected by PMPs, who are over a million (1.2M+) as over March 2022.
Much easier to prepare and clear compared to the PMP exam.
Much easier to maintain the CAPM credential than PMP.
Lower in cost and less time consuming compared to PMP, with the right content and material.
Unlike PMP, you don’t need any project management experience needed to appear for the exam.
You will know the best practices in project management.
You will know good amount of Agile practices.
Question – 3: Is the CAPM certification recognized like PMP?
Answer: Yes, it is. PMP is a much older certification and hence has more credential holders. CAPM is relatively quite new compared to the PMP certification.
As noted earlier, it's well-recognized and well-accepted across industries. In fact, I've seen many job advertisements asking either for PMP or CAPM.
Also, after being a CAPM, you can decide to go for PMP. PMI waives off certain prerequisites in this case. After being a CAPM, it'll be easier for your to become a PMP.
Question – 4: What are the applicability and validity of these courses? Answer: Both these courses for Certified Associate in Project Management (CAPM®) exam are based on the PMBOK® guide 6th edition and the Examination Content Outline (ECO) for the CAPM exam.
CAPM 23 Contact Hours Online: The price of the course is $189USD (Rs 15,119) for 6 months access or $279 (Rs 22,319) for 1-year access. The duration of the course is for 6 months or 1 year from the date of purchase.
CAPM Live Lessons: The price of the course is $449 USD (Rs 35,919) for 6 months access or $659 USD (Rs 52,719) for 1-year access. The duration of the course is for 6 months or 1 year from the date of purchase.
Both these courses will enable you to achieve the 23 mandatory contact hours needed for the CAPM exam.
It's a reflection of my training, which has created many genuinely successful CAPMs. Many PMPs have also joined such classes because the PMBOK guide is not easy guide to understand and master.
Question – 5: What are the durations and number of videos for these courses? Answer: Both these courses have the necessary and needed content to prepare well for the CAPM exam.
CAPM 23 Contact Hours Online: The course has a duration of 25 hours (approx.). It has 449 videos with the needed coverage. CAPM Live Lessons: The course has a duration of 35 hours (approx.). It has 562 videos with exhaustive coverage.
Question – 6: What are full money back guarantees for these courses? Answer: Both these courses come with full money back guarantees.
CAPM 23 Contact Hours Online: This course comes with a full money back guarantee for 15 days. Entire course content with all questions will be available to you. You can evaluate the course for 15 days. If you don’t like the course, I’ll refund your full money.
CAPM Live Lessons: This course comes with a full money-back guarantee linked to you passing the CAPM exam. You go through the course and give the exam. In case you couldn’t clear the exam, I’ll refund your full money.
Question – 7: Why should one opt for these courses instead of classroom training? Answer: Because, these trainings are:
Convenient - you can learn at your own time with your own speed. You can watch the content as many times as you want.
Longer duration - 6 months of duration (not just 2 or 4-days of training)
Low cost - much lower than classroom training
Also, if you are going for a classroom training, but the training is useless because you understood little to nothing, then where is the value? I've seen many such cases where aspiring CAPMs suffer. Any form of training you take (classroom or online or any other form) should put you on a solid track towards your CAPM exam success.
Question – 8: How will I be eligible to have 23 contact hours? Answer: It’s straightforward. You complete the course, primarily from “Lesson - 2: Introduction” to “Lesson – 14: Stakeholder Management”.
Refer this link for overall course of breakdown structure of CAPM 23 Contact Hours Online and this link for CAPM Live Lessons.
Next, you will be assessed with 30 questions within a stipulated duration. It is a comprehensive evaluation. After that, you will get the “CAPM 23 Contact Hour Course Completion Certificate” from Management Yogi.
Question – 9: What is ManagementYogi’s CAPM 23 Contact Hour Certificate? Answer: ManagementYogi’s contact hour certificate acts as a proof to claim the CAPM 23 Contact Hours. These contact hours are mandatory for you to appear for the CAPM examination. The certificate testifies that you have completed the 23 contact hours of learning.
Note: Both CAPM 23 Contact Hours Online Course and CAPM Live Lessons course offer you the 23 mandatory contact hours needed.
Question – 10: Are there any plan of action(s) on how to complete these courses? Answer: Yes, absolutely. Both these courses come with a plan of action to complete. The plan will be shared with you when you purchase the course. Plans will be different for respective courses of CAPM Live Lessons and CAPM 23 Contact Hours Online.
You will receive a plan of action which illustrates the course structure, hours per individual lessons, number of videos, and number of questions – both lesson end practice questions and full-length questions. Based on it, you have to follow a simple plan on completing the course and take your CAPM exam.
Question – 11: How can you provide the 23 Contact Hours when not an ATP or REP? Answer: This is one of the biggest misconceptions that only Authorized Training Partners (ATPs) or Registered Education Providers (REPs) can give CAPM training. It is just not true. As per PMI-CAPM Handbook (link to check - page number 9 of the handbook), there are many providers who can provide the 23 mandatory contact hours.
The snippet taken from the handbook is shown below.
They are:
PMI Registered Education Providers (R.E.P.s)
PMI Authorized Training Partners (ATPs)
PMI chapters
Employer/company-sponsored programs
Training companies or consultants (e.g., training schools)
Distance-learning companies, including an end-of-course assessment
University/college academic and continuing education programs
Hence, it is not needed to be A.T.P or R.E.P to provide the CAPM 23 contact hours training and the certificate. With Management Yogi’s CAPM courses, you are 100% eligible to get the 23 contact hours.
Important Notes:Always focus on what you learn and how best you can learn. This is 100% dependent on:
The content of learning, and
How well the content is explained to you. (Not a machine reading the content or a person just going through slide by slide. You get absolutely no value out of it.)
Question – 12: Why should I go with Management Yogi, compared to others? Answer: Indeed, there are many providers who provide CAPM training. Possibly, hundreds of them! And they sell their courses at throwaway prices.
However, usually they do not have any real-world experience, let alone project management experiences! They work on an aggregator model and have no real contribution of their own with respect to the project management domain. They don't write or publish anything on it themselves, except here and there some cut and paste articles. They are primarily focused on high profit. They sell at throwaway prices so that they will get more subscribers and make more money. You don’t get anything of real value.
I’m engaged in management (project, program, portfolio, risk, Agile, hands-on tools, creating new certification courses), continuously write on it, contribute towards it. The courses are continuously upgraded based on the feedback from successful CAPMs or PMPs. There have been many CAPM and/or PMP success stories. I’m primarily focused on your success. With these courses, you have a fair chance of success in clearing the CAPM exam.
So, you decide – whom to choose: Aggregator model with no real management learning and teaching passion or from someone who is continuously engaged in project management domain and have created many successful CAPMs?
Simply speaking, decide whom would you choose – their high profit (and many times useless training) or your probable success?
You can also compare this course with courses provided by any other provider on these aspects:
Price
Quality
Content
Coverage
Question – 13: What happens when my application is selected for audit? What will be needed? Answer: Many candidates take online courses to fulfill 23 contact hours requirements. As per Project Management Institute (PMI®), in the event of an audit, the candidate would need to supply proof of the education in the form of a transcript, and/ or a certificate of completion.
Question – 14: Will you help if my application is selected for audit with respect to 23 contact hours? Answer: Yes, absolutely. After all, these courses enable you to get the needed contact hours. You will get full help in case proof is needed for your 23 contact hours. I’ll provide all details needed by Project Management Institute (PMI).
Question – 15: Will there be any support if any questions arise during the learning of 23 contact hours? Answer: Yes, definitely. Please send an email to managementyogi@gmail.com and your questions will be answered within 3 working days or 72 hours.
This, in fact, is one of the biggest advantages you will have compared to other providers. As they are just course aggregators, they don’t have the domain knowledge. I’ll be involved with you throughout your CAPM journey.
Question – 16: What is your success rate for the CAPM exam, who have taken the courses or classes? Answer: I’ve taken numerous classroom and virtual sessions on CAPM exam preparation, worldwide. The success rate of people who have sincerely prepared with the plan of action I've shared, is high.
The Online Courses have been launched for the first time. These are reflections of my classroom trainings. It has also much more details, e.g.,
100s of videos and exercises (one of its kind)
A number of full-length practice question sets, including full-length Q&A set on Project Management
A number of lesson-end practice questions
30 questions for end course assessment for CAPM contact hours certificate
These are not possible with a classroom course.
I believe these courses will give you better learning, practice for your exam and prepare you well for the CAPM exam. I also believe if you sincerely do this course, your chance of success in the exam is high.
Notes:
You can evaluate 25 videos before paying any money. (applicable for both CAPM Live Lessons and CAPM 23 Contact Hours Online)
Both these courses come with full money back guarantees, as noted earlier.
Question – 17: How many full-length practice tests do these the courses have? Answer: The number of questions for both the CAPM courses are noted below.
CAPM 23 Contact Hours Online: You will get two (2) full-length questions with detailed answers. Each question set has 150 questions as like the CAPM exam. In total, you have over 500 practice questions, including lesson-end questions.
CAPM Live Lessons: You will get four (4) full-length questions with detailed answers. Each question set has 150 questions as like the CAPM exam. In total, you have 2300 practice questions, including lesson-end questions.
If you have any other questions or clarifications, please send a mail to managementyogi@gmail.com. If this course has those features, I’ll inform with all the details. If it does not, then also, you will be clearly informed. There won’t be any round-about answers.
Which course to go for CAPM: CAPM 23 Contact Hours or CAPM Live Lessons? What are the differences between the two?
Do note that both these courses are unique and are ONLY such courses in the world. No one gives moneyback guarantee (but everyone claims to give!), without a number of terms and conditions. Both these courses come with full moneyback guarantees. These are simple, direct and upfront moneyback guarantees, without useless terms and conditions.
Fundamental Difference
First and foremost, these two courses vary with their goal(s) and objective(s) with the associated motto.
With this background, let's see the other main differences.
Other Main Differences
I’ve noted other main differences in the below two tables. Actually, it’s one table. But I’ve segregated them into two in order to have better visibility and understanding.
The second part of this table is noted below.
To know the applicability, validity, price and payment of these two courses, please refer:
As noted earlier, almost everyone claims to give moneyback guarantee and create some thousands of CAPMs every year. If you search the web, or open social media, you will find every other day there is a success story!
Also, there are providers who are selling courses as low as $5 or $10 USD (Rs 400 to Rs 750 INR), but with such courses you understand little to nothing. Passing the exam remains a distant dream. More important:you spend a lot of time going through such courses and in the end, you don't succeed. Time is money. The months spent in time by you also translate to money that you lost. This is price you pay, when you go with cheap (and mostly ineffective) courses. Many don't realize it, till it's late!
Let’s take the data from PMI on CAPM credential holders. As of end March 2022, there are 58,047 CAPMs worldwide. But there are thousands and thousands of providers such as ATPs and REPs. If you consider all providers, the numbers will be much more. This is shown in the below snippet.
It means one ATP or REP, on an average, can’t even enable a few CAPM (not even 10) in years. Re-read the previous line -- in years of their operations!
Even considering Project Management Professional (PMPs), there are actually a few, considering India. India has a very large number of professionals working in projects. You can refer this post to know more: How Many PMPs In India?
I’m not looking for some quick buck or quick exit. I’ll be with you throughout your journey.
A high quality course with high quality questions take enormous time to prepare. To prepare these courses, I've learned and practiced for years - now over a decade of teaching, training, speaking and also learning from you. These courses have taken me months to build. As a reader or learner, this is the time (the time I spent working on the course and content) you save. The time saved for you will be in years.
Conclusion
I’ve enabled many CAPMs, who have used my book, I Want To Be A CAPM. In addition to CAPMs, my courses and books have enabled many PMPs, ACPs and RMPs.
When you purchase the courses, I’m also involved with you throughout your journey. Many providers can’t do that, because they don’t have the subject matter understanding. They are merely course aggregators.
For these two new courses, I've informed the goals, mottos and objectives, along with the main differences. These, I believe, will help you to choose the course of your choice.
Above all, if you prepare sincerely, you have a fair and high chance to clear the CAPM exam and be a certified PMI-CAPM.
This is in continuation of the earlier series of questions for the PMI-CAPM® examination.
I would definitely suggest that you take both the parts together when you try to attempt the questions.
Again, do note that these are not verbatim questions from the PMI-CAPM exam, however, these questions cover the areas needed for the exam. The questions are based on the PMBOK Guide, Exam Content Outline and Agile practices associated with the PMBOK guide.
As noted in the earlier post, to answer these questions, you need to have:
Good grasp on Knowledge Areas of the PMBOK Guide, 6th edition.
Good grasp of the introductory areas of the PMBOK guide such as Project Life Cycles, Project Environment and Role of Project Manager.
Sound understaning of the Agile practices as per the PMBOK guide.
Understanding the content of the ECO. The ECO is a small, barebone document listing the possible (not all) topics/areas to be covered for the CAPM exam.

I am pleased to announce the fully revamped new course for Certified Associate in Project Management (CAPM®):
CAPM Live Lessons – Guaranteed Pass or Your Money Back
This is a complete video course and comes with a full money-back guarantee linked to you passing the PMI-CAPM exam. It also comes packaged with the mandatory 23 Contact Hours course completion certificate - one of the prerequisites of the exam.
The first version of the video course was released in 2019. Since then, it has enabled many successful PMI-CAPMs and PMI-PMPs. This course is based on the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK®) Guide, 6th edition and the Examination Content Outline (ECO) for the Certified Associate in Project Management (CAPM).
Note:The CAPM exam is not as difficult as the PMP exam, which has multiple reference guides and books. The CAPM exam questions are easy to answer, if you have gone through the right content and followed the right material. In fact, if you are struggling to be a PMP due to time constraint or other factors, I’d strongly suggest that you go for the CAPM certification.
Now, coming to the course update, the CAPM Live Lessons course has seen updates based on the CAPM exam and related changes. In fact, with these updates, the course has been completely revamped and it’s as good as a new one.
What’s New in the Course – CAPM Live Lessons?
Below are the highlights for the updates to this course.
1. NEW CAPM Lessons comes with the Mandatory 23 Contact Hours
The CAPM Live Lessons course now comes packaged with the CAPM 23 Contact Hours, one of the mandatory prerequisites. This course has an end-course assessment and post the assessment, you will be eligible to get the CAPM 23 Contact Hours Course Completion Certificate from Management Yogi.
One of the biggest misconceptions about PMI-CAPM’s 23 Contact Hours program is this: You have to mandatorily get training from an Authorized Training Partner (A.T.P) or Registered Education Provider (R.E.P). It's not true.
In fact, the Handbook for PMI-CAPM exam has long noted this (a direct snippet)
As you can clearly see, only ATP or REP can provide 23 contact hours is NOT true. With this course, you will now have 23 Contact Hours.
2. Completely NEW Set of Welcome Videos and NEW Content for CAPM Exam
The CAPM exam has changed a lot in the last few years and also as noted in the previous point, this course now comes packaged with CAPM 23 Contact Hours. Considering it, a fresh set of Welcome videos have been added.
As the CAPM exam has changed, a number of videos such as the certification process, certification renewal cycle, exam question styles, the continuing certification requirements, ability to pay in various currencies, among others are also changed.
These are part of the “Welcome” lesson. You can see the course index below.
3. COMPLETE Addition of Agile Concepts
Though the CAPM-ECO informs on few Agile concepts in certain knowledge areas (KAs), Agile concepts are available for all the 10 KAs, and in project life cycles. Now, the course has exhaustive Agile content.
The various life cycles used in a project now have more explanations. In addition, a brief on Agile Manifesto has been explained.
4. NEW Agile related questions for Lesson-End Questions
For every knowledge area, a number of Agile related questions are added. Remember, though the ECO informs on a few Agile concepts, the PMBOK guide has Agile content for the knowledge areas.
5. NEW Agile related questions for Full-Length Questions
There are four full length question-sets in this Guaranteed CAPM video course, each having 150 questions and answers. Now, these question sets are revamped to include more Agile questions.
This will available under “Full Length Question Sets”.
6. NEW Guide Covering Key Areas of Agile Manifesto
The Agile Manifesto has 4 values and 12 principles. For your CAPM exam, PMBOK guide is only guide to refer. Nevertheless, you need to have a brief understanding of the Agile values and principles.
This falls under “Lesson – 16: Final Talk” of this course.
Note: The Agile Guide for the course can be downloaded.
7. NEW Process and ITTO Exercises for all the KAs.
The PMBOK has a number of processes, which in turn have a number of inputs, tools and techniques, and outputs (ITTOs). You need to be proficient in these, which are explicitly listed in the CAPM-ECO.
For this purse, a new set of videos, with 379 questions are explained in videos. This is applicable for all the 10 knowledge areas (KAs). You can see them in the index below.
8. NEW Smart Cards for all lessons.
A set of smart cards are
also added for every lesson. Smart cards are small, but tricky
questions presented as a pair of cards - questions and answers. A number
of smart cards (total 365) are now part of this course.
9. NEW XLS Sheet (spreadsheet) with the 5 Process Groups (PG), 10 Knowledge Areas (KA) and 49 Processes
The sole reference guide for the CAPM is the PMBOK guide, 6th edition. This guide will continue to be effective this year for many more months. Now, in the CAPM exam you can face a number of direct questions related to the processes, inputs, tools and techniques, outputs across the 5 PGs and 10 KAs. Hence, I’ve made an XLS sheet available, which will help you immensely.
The XLS sheet is also going to be useful as you do the process and ITTO exercises.
Note: The XLS sheet can be downloaded.
10. UPDATED Document on How to Fill the CAPM Application and the Formula Gold Cards
The application process for your CAPM exam has been changed and also has been made easier. This now includes the latest changes as per the PMI-CAPM handbook.
Formulas needed for your CAPM are not as exhaustive as the PMP exam. However, I’ve added quite a few into the formula gold cards.

Note: The formula gold cards of the course can be downloaded.
