Who should apply?

If you have commenced your preparation for the PMP® or CAPM® exam, this is an ideal course to refresh the concepts and gain exam practice.

This course is designed for individuals that have been performing self-study of PMBoK with an intent to sit for the CAPM/PMP exam, and wish to get an overview of the important material combined with an overview of the exam and techniques and areas on which to focus.  

It would also suit those individuals newer to PMI and PMBoK who want an overview of the CAPM & PMP certification and exam content.  This course will be conducted at a relatively fast pace and is not suitable for absolute starters in project management.
