CAPM Exam Prep Seminar - PMBOK Guide, Sixth Edition

https://www.udemy.com/course/capm-pmbok6/

/u/fanfanye previously recommended a Udemy course for you folks out there that might be interested in getting a CAPM for project management. Legit hours required for the exam and is finally on discount now, so around RM50 (vs 200USD normal) vs the supposed 4-figure sum for normal class training.

^ This

Something you can do immediately is gain your CAPM which will immediately add something to your resume, and if you decide that Project Management is not for you it is far less of a financial and time commitment then pursuing your master’s. If this is a route you are looking at taking the prep course for the CAPM through Udemy appears to only be $10 right now through their Black Friday sale:

With that being said, I am also currently a Master’s student in Project Management and have certainly gained a lot of value from my coursework in my current role. If project management is a path that you know you want to go down a Master’s in Project Management will certainly help you in the long run, but it may not be something you would gain immediate value from right now. If you have any questions on Master’s programs feel free to message me. Best of luck!

I’m sure it would but a lot of people take the Joseph Phillips course

Here is the one I used. It's often on sale so keep tabs on it, I got it for $14. Its really useful, you can post questions on it, complete assignments and there are teacher assistants that answer any questions very fast. He literally goes over almost everything and there are tests and exams.

I am preparing for CAPM, by using only PMBoK Guide sixth edition and Udemy course by Joseph Phillips (https://www.udemy.com/course/capm-pmbok6/) to fulfill contact hours eligibility requirement. I wonder if that is sufficient and do I really need to purchase any other material (much talked about RITA book). I am reluctant due to monetary reasons. I will be studying full time and planning to take the test in the mid of November 2021.
Also If anyone can recommend some good Practice/Mock tests for the exam.

Here’s the Udemy course I took. Pretty straightforward and fulfilled the hours req. Good luck!

I see I'm a bit late to the party here.

If you're still in the similar position as described in your post, take Joseph Phillips' CAPM course. This would meet the requirement hours need for the application and you'll feel comfortable with the content of the exam. Of course, some other resources are helpful (Vargas video, prep-exams). All the best in your career, u/ultrarunner13!

I used the udemy course at this URL <https://www.udemy.com/course/capm-pmbok6/> and followed along with the course material provided by WGU. The udemy course has better content, practice exams, and flashcards. You should have no issue passing the WGU OA and CAPM exam with the udemy course alone.

Joseph Phillips Udemy course (currently 'on sale' for $10.99) https://www.udemy.com/course/capm-pmbok6/

and

Peter Landin's Practice Tests (always priced at $9.99) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07XV1N9VJ

Well, you could do like I did and get a head start on that course.

https://www.udemy.com/course/capm-pmbok6/

I took that course directly prior to starting and passed the class on day two of my term.

This udemy course helped me a ton with the CAPM https://www.udemy.com/course/capm-pmbok6/. I barely even looked at the PMBOK guide.

https://www.udemy.com/course/capm-pmbok6/

I am taking it also and yes it does fulfill the 23 hours project management education

>Joesph Phillips

Was it this one from Udemy? https://www.udemy.com/course/capm-pmbok6/

I'm interested in obtaining the CAPM for the resume.

I recommend skimming the PMBOK Guide a few times to get a basic understanding, I strongly recommend getting Joseph Philips course on Udemy, it is great if you have a commute and goes in-depth in the material.

CAPM Exam Prep Seminar - PMBOK Guide, Sixth Edition (Joseph Phillips)

https://www.udemy.com/course/capm-pmbok6/

Much appreciated - just wanted to make sure this is the Udemy course you're referring to?

https://www.udemy.com/course/capm-pmbok6/

Just to be clear is this the course you are referring to?

https://www.udemy.com/course/capm-pmbok6/

I cleared it last summer with 92% (calculated my grade from the total questions i got right), just do this course on udemy: https://www.udemy.com/course/capm-pmbok6/ , reading PMBOK is confusing and a waste of time. Do this course and you will get more than 90% for sure, You will get all the notes plus the mock exams as well and take atleast 1.5-2 months for a deeper knowledge of this course. You will pass gloriously, best of luck.

I took this one: https://www.udemy.com/course/capm-pmbok6/

This one satisfies the requirement of completing 25 contact hours in project management education; however, if you have already completed that requirement, I would say to go ahead with the exam cram session.

Feel free to let me know if you have any other questions - I'm happy to help!

You can also meet that requirement with 23 hours of project management education instead. These can be obtained pretty easily by going through a course like this one:
https://www.udemy.com/course/capm-pmbok6/

Phillips is well known for his cert prep courses and it'll give you the required edu hours.

Honestly, it does sound gimmicky. The Asana information won't be relevant to the exam. Asana is also pretty intuitive to use and I'm sure there are Youtube tutorials for anything that isn't.

Personally, I used this cheap udemy course to prepare: https://www.udemy.com/course/capm-pmbok6/

It goes on sale for about \~$12 at least once a week. The teacher is great, the course is well structured, and you get the benefit of being able to rewind and rewatch lesssons.

Here you go

https://www.udemy.com/course/capm-pmbok6/learn/lecture/9194234?start=0

Its an axam prep course and if you complete it you get a cert for the required PDUs shoe capm.

Also the YouTube video i mentioned

https://youtu.be/GC7pN8Mjot8

These are for version 6 of pembok notbsure if v7 has been published so just be aware of that

If you get audited, as per FAQ, PMI "will accept a letter of completion from the course administrator, HR department, or manager on company letterhead to verify that the course was completed." So you will be required to provide the curriculum for these specific courses with the number of hours and authorized by your college. I think this really complicated. I strongly recommend you to take a course in Udemy Academy, either by Joseph P. or Andrew R. This will cost you only $15 and these courses are geared specifically to PMP (good for CAPM, as well). See links below for those by Joseph P. If you don't get it for $15-20, clean up the cookies from your machine and try again until you get it at this price.

I'm in a similar situation and about to try and knock this out as well. Here's something I put together with my lurking and frugality-

Materials required:

CAPM Exam General Outline - Our general refrence/outline to material we'll be covering: https://www.pmi.org/-/media/pmi/documents/public/pdf/certifications/certified-associate-project-management-exam-outline.pdf

Udemy CAPM exam prep course by Joseph Phillips- Our main source of learning. Should be discounted to $12: https://www.udemy.com/course/capm-pmbok6/

PocketPrep CAPM Practice/test exams- Test prep for the CAPM exam that is very accurate. Some say a little harder than the actual exam. I think this charges a monthly/time based fee, so consider getting the premium when you're in a learning rhythm to save a little $$: https://www.pocketprep.com/exams/pmi-capm/

Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK 6 digital copy)- the actual textbook. Get this here and save lots of money. This is very dry text, but our glossary and refrence for the Udemy course: https://1lib.us/book/3402201/54091f

additional sources of confidence and understanding: -Indeed Search for Project Management/assistant project mgmgt -Watch a day in the life videos of project managers

*I was reading that the PMBOK 7 is coming out in the Fall or Winter. If I understand correctly, this means the CAPM Exam will be updated at that time as well. I'd think this would be a great time to get the CAPM before the next version drops. Prep stuff would also need updating, and I'd prefer the most accurate materials. If we can get an actual CAPM Exam update date, we could break lessons/chapters down into a timeline to ensure we'll be ready in time. Just another thought.

I hope this helps. If anyone here has a suggestion or criticism I'd also love to hear more thoughts. Good luck!

Start with a live training course, check out your local community colleges for continuing ed classes, these are usually 6 to 8 weeks and cover all the bases, and will provide the 23 education contact hours. I recommend this over the 'bootcamp' approach as there is more time to absorb and understand the information.

if you can't do a live class, or just prefer and online self paced approach, this Udemy will do the trick and also provide you with the 23 contact hours:

• https://www.udemy.com/course/capm-pmbok6/

Supplement your studies with one of these texts. Both are well written, the first is more straight forward and the second is a little 'cute/kichy' depending on your learning style:

• https://www.amazon.com/Project-Management-Certification-Guide-Fourth/dp/1259861627

• https://www.amazon.com/Head-First-PMP-Management-Professional/dp/1492029645

While both of these contain review questions, neither set up the questions in the format and style of the actual exam. I recommend this for taking practice tests, as it also includes a link to simulate the exam through an online test feature:

• https://www.amazon.com/Project-Management-Practice-Questions-Certification/dp/1692528459

And finally, the PMBOK guide, which can be purchased on AMZ or download free through www.pmi.org with annual membership. The $130 membership fee is worth it for the PMBOK pdf and exam discount. The PMBOK is the reference guide for the PM methodology and source for the exam. It's difficult to read, DRY and repetitive, but necessary to consult during your study.

so all told, course, study and practice tests amount to 2-3 months.

hope this helps...

Resources that helped me pass the CAPM (2021)

Hey everyone! I took the CAPM yesterday and passed with Above Target in all areas except Role of the PM (for which I got Target).

First off I wanted to thank everyone on this subreddit, I passed using all of the resources everyone else posted about. I wanted to make a post with what worked for me and comment on each of the resources I used:

- Joseph Phillips' Udemy Course (https://www.udemy.com/course/capm-pmbok6/) and his CAPM Cram Session (https://www.udemy.com/course/capm-exam-cram-session-pmbok6/): Both of these courses are really helpful to get an initial understanding of the concepts (wait for them to go on sale), the Cram Session isn't necessary but I think it's good to use as an overall review of everything. Also, the practice exams at the end are pretty good!

- Ricardo Vargas' Video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GC7pN8Mjot8&ab_channel=RicardoVargas): Absolutely amazing video that everyone in this sub is (rightfully) obsessed with. I would definitely recommend watching it a few times throughout your preparation process, every time I watched it I got a better understanding of how everything ties together.

- Ricardo Vargas' Processes Flow PDF (https://ricardo-vargas.com/pmbok6-processes-flow/): This PDF is literally a godsend, it helps map everything together with the above video. I went through it and made notes, highlighting key sections and the flow of inputs/outputs which really helped consolidate my understanding of the ITTOs.

- Project Prep (https://www.projectprep.org/free-capm-practice-questions/): I haven't seen this resource mentioned much on this sub, but I love their cheat sheet, it's really concise while covering all of the core concepts. Their practice exam is also really similar to the actual exam!

- PocketPrep (aka Professional Prep): Another resource that everyone on this sub loves. It's been recently updated to have 1000 questions and I would recommend doing them all. However, the new update includes a bunch of multiple selection questions which don't really follow the format of the exam. Also, with the new update, some questions on it are unnecessarily specific, so don't be scared if your average score by the end isn't above 80% (mine was only 72% by the end).

- The in-depth study sheet by u/BobbingAround (https://www.reddit.com/r/capm/comments/kbamm7/i_made_a_spreadsheet_to_consolidate_definitions/): Their study sheet has basically all of the details you would need for the CAPM! A really good source of reference for in-depth definitions without needing to go through the PMBOK every time.

- PMBOK: I didn't read the whole thing personally, but I followed the advice of a lot of people on this sub and made sure to go through the Agile and Tailoring considerations at the beginning of each section which was definitely a good idea.

Anyways, that's everything I used to pass. I think having a wide array of resources and information was the key to understanding the content for me.

One last tip is make sure to pretend that you're writing the actual exam when doing the full-length practice exams (from Udemy, Pocket Prep or otherwise) to get yourself accustomed to answering 150 questions in a row within 3 hours.

Good luck!
