The PMBOK® Guide offers a comprehensive conceptual framework for understanding project management discipline.

The framework organizes project management activities into 10 knowledge areas, described in terms of component processes and five process groups.
According to PMI® discipline, to be eligible for the CAPM® certification you must meet one of the following minimum eligibility requirements:

If you hold a bachelor's degree and/or have 3-5 years of project management experience, you should consider taking PMP® Exam Prep Course
No, this course prepares you for the CAPM® exam. Both CAPM® and PMP® exams are based on PMBOK® Guide but they are quite different in the degree of PMBOK Guide knowledge required.
The exam consists of 150 multiple-choice questions, 135 are scorable questions and 15 questions, placed randomly, are "not scored" pretest items, which are used by PMI® to test the validity of future examination questions.
The exam is normally "computer based" with 3 hours to complete.
Once you pass the CAPM® exam, you are certified for a period of 5 years. Before the end of your five-year certification cycle, you have the option to retake the exam or, if you are eligible, you can apply for any other of PMI’s credentials (i.e. PMP®)
It depends. That is entirely up to you. This course is designed to meet the needs of a broad spectrum of CAPM® certification candidates, with major or minor project management background. Upon completion of this course:
- You will have undergone an examination of the PMBOK® Guide.
- You taken a series of in-depth practice exams.
