Specific course content will include:

Project Management Framework

• A generic introduction to project management and the overall structure of the PMBOK® Guide. The benefits of adopting a formal project management approach will also be outlined.

Process Groups

The PMI processes are organised into five Process Groups:

• Initiating
• Planning
• Executing
• Monitoring and Controlling
• Closing

The iterative implementation of these activities helps ensure that projects are delivered in a structured manner.

Knowledge Areas

PMI processes are further arranged across 10 Knowledge Areas and the course is structured around each of these areas:

• Integration Management
• Scope Management
• Schedule Management
• Cost Management
• Quality Management
• Resource Management
• Communications Management
• Risk Management
• Procurement Management
• Stakeholder Management

Throughout the course, delegates will participate in Q&A sessions that will help consolidate the learning and ensure adequate preparation for the subsequent examination.

Examination Details

The CAPM exam is not part of this course and delegates must arrange the exam directly with PMI. The exam will take place at a designated test centre or can be arranged via an online proctored examination. Full details of the 150-question, three hours, online examination and the application process can be found at www.pmi.org.
