Description
Used in conjunction with PMI’s PMBOK® Guide — Sixth Edition (2017), this concise study guide presents all the fundamental knowledge, concepts, exercises, practice questions, and simulated exams needed to prepare for and successfully pass the CAPM® exam on your first try. However, this book is much more than a study guide. It is a valuable desk reference that project team members can use to improve their effectiveness and a good resource for those considering a career in project management.
Readers will have free web-based access for 45 days to over 1000 questions including hundreds of situational questions, enabling users to perform practice tests by simulating actual 150-question exams and arrange questions by Knowledge Area. (Note: This access begins when you register for the test bank, not when you purchase the book.)

Reviews
“The PMI project management certifications are the world’s gold standard. And, for those in the profession who have not yet accumulated the thousands of hours required for the PMP, the CAPM is an invaluable stepping stone—a clear indication of commitment and knowledge. Getting certified starts with successfully passing the CAPM exam and we have used this study guide with great success in our certification boot camps. Highly recommended!”
