Q: Why should
I consider getting certified?
A: There is a certain amount of prestige
that comes with being internationally
recognized as being one of the best in your
field. If you can appreciate that then you
will appreciate the professional advantages
derived from being a certified PMP or CAPM.
Being a PMP tells your current and potential
employers that you have demonstrated that
you have a solid foundation of knowledge
which enables you to practice the profession
of project management in a competent manner.
Q: What is the
difference between the PMP and the CAPM?
A:The Project Management Professional (PMP)
credential was designed for individuals with
significant experience and maturity in the
profession. Specifically, the attributes “to
lead and direct” were identified as key
elements of a more mature project management
professional according to PMI’s most recent
role delineation study. If you have been
leading and directing projects for several
years you should consider applying for the
PMP exam.
The Certified Associate in Project
Management (CAPM) credential was designed
for the following types of individuals:
Those who are relatively new to the project
management profession, already working on
project teams, and graduate or undergraduate
students interested in the project
management profession and the increased
marketability a credential can offer them.
The CAPM will build your creditability
because it demonstrates that you have
focused knowledge of key project management
processes and terminology which will enhance
your project management expertise and
employment opportunities. In other words,
you are given a sold theoretical framework
and the proper paradigms for thinking about
project management and the project
management profession. Also, you are given a
foothold in career progression that could
otherwise take years to achieve.
Q: What is the
Project Management Institute (PMI)?
A: PMI is the world’s leading professional

Q: What is the
PMBOK?

the Project Management Body of Knowledge, (PMBOK)
®. It is also referred to as the “PMBOK ®
Guide” and is in its 3rd edition. Project
Foundations, Inc™ instructors have mastered
all drafts and editions of the PMBOK,
including the newly released 3rd edition.
The Guide to the PMBOK, 3rd edition, is
PMI’s de facto global standard and it
describes the knowledge areas, processes,
and practices applicable to most projects
most of the time. Thus, both the CAPM & PMP
certification exams use the PMBOK’s
framework as a basis for exam questions.
Q: What should
I bring to class?
A: ProjectFoundations, Inc™ will provide you
with all of the materials you will need for
classes. Therefore, all you need to do is

Management Professional) and CAPM (Certified

You are not required to become a member of
PMI to apply for eligibility or take the
CAPM or PMP Exam. However, it is highly
recommended for the following reasons: The
non-member fees for taking the certification
exams exceed the combined cost of PMI

the CAPM or PMP exam:
During the course, you will be given a very
objective measurement to determine when you

okay to delay exam registration until after

for the exam at a testing center of your
choice. ProjectFoundations, Inc™ strongly

hour requirement.
