The new PMP includes the Predictive (waterfall), Agile and Hybrid key approaches. To know more about PMP, visit our ‘What is PMP?’ page.

- 7,500 hours leading and directing projects
- 35 hours of project management education
OR - Four-year degree

If you do not meet these requirements, you can do either of the following:
Enrol for the CAPM:
The CAPM is a project management certification by PMI that is not as demanding as PMP. The prerequisites for the CAPM exam include:
- A secondary diploma (high school diploma/global equivalent)
- 23 hours of project management education.
Both PMP and CAPM are based on the PMBoK. The only difference is the way their exams are structured. So, if you are interested in the CAPM certification, all you need to do is to enrol for our PMP/CAP training and register for the CAPM exam afterwards.
Enrol for the PRINCE2 training and exam
The PRINCE2 qualification is a globally recognised qualification for project managers. The PRINCE2 certification is in two stages; PRINCE2 Foundation and PRINCE2 Practitioner. Taking the Foundation exam does not require any prerequisites. Also, taking the PRINCE2 Practitioner exam only requires that you have a PRINCE2 Foundation or PMP certification.

The benefits of the PMP qualification are numerous; some of which are:
- It acts as proof of your project management knowledge and experience on a global level.

What kind of certificate would I get from PMI?
If successful in the exam, you will get both the electronic and the hard copy of your certificate from PMI, the PMP coordinating body.
What’s the difference between CAMP and PMP?
Before delving into the difference between CAPM and PMP, let's talk about the similarities. The two qualifications are based upon the PMBok and they are both offered by PMI.
The difference lies in what individuals considering them are expected to know. With CAPM, you are expected to have a fair appreciation of what project management is all about while with PMP, you are expected to have the knowledge, skills and experience in project management.
Their difference can easily be understood by considering the way the two exams are structured. While the CAPM exam questions are knowledge-based, the PMP exam questions are scenario-based.
