The Certified Associate in Project Management (CAPM) credential offered by the Project Management Institute (PMI) is considered a leading designation for project leaders and managers. This 100% online course will teach you the principles, skills, and practices of professional project management. Key topics include project components such as time, cost, risk and team communications.
Demand for skilled project managers is strong, even during challenging economic times. Because project managers organize and streamline processes to conserve resources, demand for their services often increases when budgets for other activities suffer.
Current workforce trends indicate that approximately 2 million new project-oriented roles will be created annually through 2027.
According to the PMI Project Management Salary Survey, project management salaries average $90,260. Project managers with technical specialties such as IT or construction can earn significantly more.

Project managers accept responsibility for the completion of specified projects. A project is an organized sequence of events that lead to an outcome, which may be as diverse as a new automobile, a new house or a new song. Project managers bring together the talent, resources and energy to start, manage and finish projects.
PMI certification is a widely understood and accepted designation for project managers. Employers, colleagues and customers recognize PMI-affiliated project managers for their commitment to quality and professionalism.
While the CAPM can be earned by professionals in any career stage, its focus on the essentials of projects and project management makes it an ideal match for early career stages. The CAPM credential matches well with more specific or technical fields to create a formidable qualification for emerging project managers.
CAPM preparation focuses on the flow and sequence of project management from start to finish. It emphasizes project resources, risks and the process of executing successful projects.
