Is the Certified Associate in Project Management (CAPM) course suitable for me?

The CAPM® certification is a perfect choice for Junior Project Managers, or those looking to become a Project Management Professional. It is also the way in for those looking to attain PMP® status but do not yet have the hours of experience to undertake the PMP examination.
