About
the CAPM® Exam
The test is 150 multiple choice questions and is 3 hours long. The
candidate must be familiar with "A Guide to the Project Management
Body of Knowledge" (PMBOK® Guide, Third Edition). The CAPM® credential requires no Continuing Certification Requirements (CCR)
PDUs for maintaining the credential.
Candidates who pass the exam may
use the credential for five (5) years, and may apply to take the PMP® exam
at any time during those five years. After five years the CAPM® credential
expires, and the the candidate can apply to re-take the CAPM® exam
or to take the PMP® exam.
Cost of the exam: $225 (185 Euros) if
the candidate is a PMI® member, or $300 (250 Euros) if they are not
a PMI® member. The same cost applied
when the credential expires at the end of the five year period.
