PMI-CAPM® exam preparation for the CAPM certification

The CAPM certification gives an internationally recognised foundation in project management to people who are early in their career, or who work in a project team and want to move towards project leadership. The exam does not test years of leadership experience. It tests whether you can see the basic concepts, methods and connections of project management. Our CAPM exam preparation is built on PMI’s official materials. As Hungary’s first PMI Authorized Training Partner, we do more than prepare you for the exam: we give you a system you can later build on in real project work, and even towards the PMP certification.

What will you get from the course?

  • Thorough preparation for the CAPM® exam, based on PMI’s official materials
  • Access to the official materials and to materials developed by Szinergia
  • An individual consultation after the course
  • A personalised study plan and preparation strategy
  • 23 PDU credits

Main topics of the course

The CAPM material introduces many new concepts at once. On the course we make the connections between them visible, so exam preparation is not a matter of memorising separate definitions.

    Becoming CAPM · The project environment · Organising for performance · Development approach and life cycle

  2. Module 2 – Planning and predictive methods

    Planning project work, predictive methods · Project work and delivery

  3. Module 3 – Adaptive (agile) approaches

    Adaptive approaches · Adaptive frameworks

  4. Module 4 – Measurement and uncertainty

    Measurement, monitoring and managing uncertainty

  5. Module 5 – Foundations of business analysis

The CAPM credential is valid for 3 calendar years after a successful exam, and can be renewed by earning enough PDU credits.

Who is this course for?

People starting out

Early-career project managers who want to apply for project manager roles well prepared.

Junior project leaders

Junior project leaders or project team members who lead projects from time to time.

Portrait of Földi Viktória

Földi Viktória

Senior consultant, PMI-PMP

In Viktória’s work, people and systems are not two separate worlds. In IT and organisational change alike, she treats it as essential to understand the team’s capacity for change, its stuck points and how it works, alongside the technology. On the CAPM preparation course she connects that practical view with the PMI foundations of project management, so participants leave with knowledge they can use in real project work, not only in the exam.
