Get the entry-level project management credential employers are hiring for — built by ASU, authorized by PMI®

Every organization runs on projects. From tech and healthcare to construction and finance, companies rely on skilled professionals to plan, execute and deliver results.

But there’s a gap.

 The Project Management Institute (PMI®) projects a global shortage of nearly 30 million project professionals by 2035. Employers aren’t just looking for experience. They're looking for people who can prove they know how to run a project. 

That’s where the CAPM® comes in.

The Certified Associate in Project Management (CAPM®) is PMI’s entry-level certification, designed to help you break into project-based roles and stand out to employers, even if you have little or no experience.

The training that prepares you to lead  

To apply for the CAPM® exam, you need 23 hours of project management education.

This program provides those official hours while serving as a comprehensive roadmap for your exam preparation. 

Arizona State University is a PMI® Authorized Training Partner, which means this course is aligned directly with PMI standards and satisfies the eligibility requirement to apply for the CAPM® exam.

You will not just study concepts. You will build real understanding of how projects are planned, managed and delivered in today’s workplace.
