CAPM® FAQs
Your questions, answered honestly
CAPM® or PMP® — which should I take?
If you have 3+ years leading projects, go straight for PMP® — it carries more weight and salary impact. If you’re a student, fresher, or have under three years’ experience, CAPM® is the right entry point: no experience needed, and it sets you up to upgrade to PMP® later. Not sure? Send us your background and we’ll recommend the right one.
Do I need any work experience for CAPM®?
No. PMI asks for a secondary diploma, a minimum age of 18 and 23 hours of project management education, which this course provides. It’s the most accessible PMI® credential.
What does the CAPM® syllabus cover?
The exam is written from PMI’s Exam Content Outline, which sets out four domains: Project Management Fundamentals and Core Concepts at 36%, Predictive, Plan-Based Methodologies at 17%, Agile Frameworks and Methodologies at 20% and Business Analysis Frameworks at 27%. Between them they hold 19 tasks. The business analysis weighting is the one that catches people out, because more than a quarter of the paper sits there and it is the part least covered by free study material. We publish the whole outline, task by task, in the curriculum above.
Does this give me the 23 education hours I need?
Yes. On completing the programme you receive a 23-hour certificate that satisfies PMI’s education requirement to sit the CAPM® exam.
Is the PMI exam fee included?
No. The CAPM® exam fee is paid directly to PMI. For candidates in India, PMI lists it at ₹15,247 for members and ₹20,265 at full price (PMI, CAPM® certification, 25 September 2026). Our training fee is ₹7,900 + GST. We’ll guide you through PMI membership and exam booking.
What if I don’t pass the exam?
You’re covered by our free re-attend guarantee: attend the full programme and follow our study plan, and if you sit the exam without clearing it, re-train free within 12 months, with mock exams and doubt-clearing until you are ready.
Is CAPM® actually worth it for a fresher in India?
For breaking into project coordination/management roles, yes — it signals to employers that you understand PM fundamentals and the same body (PMI) that runs the PMP®. It won’t replace experience, but it gets your CV shortlisted and gives you a credible head start. We’ll give you a straight answer for your specific situation.
Online or classroom?
Both are live and instructor-led — same curriculum and faculty standard. Live online for zero commute; our Mumbai classroom (Holiday Inn, Andheri East) if you prefer the room.
