The Certified Associate in Project Management (CAPM) is a popular entry-level certification for project managers. The CAPM exam is being updated in 2023, and there are a few important changes that students should be aware of.
What’s Changing?
The biggest change to the CAPM exam is the removal of the 1,500-hour project experience requirement. This means that anyone with a secondary degree and 23 hours of project management education can now take the exam.
The exam content is also being updated to reflect the latest project management practices. This includes a greater focus on agile and adaptive approaches, as well as business analysis frameworks. Finally, the exam format is being changed to include more interactive question types.
What Does This Mean for Students?
The changes to the CAPM exam mean that students will need to have a solid understanding of the latest project management concepts and practices. They will also need to be comfortable with the new question formats.
However, the changes also make the CAPM more accessible to a wider range of people. This is good news for anyone who is interested in a career in project management.
