CAPM Course

Lesson 1 • CAPM Eligibility and Application Process

Details education and experience prerequisites, application steps, and audit procedures. Ensures candidates meet requirements before investing study time.

Lesson 2 • Exam Structure and Scoring

Breaks down question count, domain weightings, and pass/fail scoring methodology. Helps candidates allocate study effort proportionally.

Lesson 3 • Study Planning and Resources

Guides candidates in building a personalised study schedule using PMI-approved materials. Connects resource selection to exam domain priorities.

Lesson 1 • Defining Projects and Operations

Contrasts projects with ongoing operations using PMI definitions and real examples. Anchors all subsequent content in a shared vocabulary.

Lesson 2 • Stakeholder Identification and Roles

Defines stakeholder categories and the roles of sponsor, PM, and team members. Establishes accountability relationships used throughout the course.

Lesson 3 • Organisational Structures and PM Authority

Examines functional, matrix, and projectised structures and their effect on PM authority. Prepares students to navigate resource and reporting dynamics.

Lesson 4 • Project Life Cycle Models

Compares predictive, iterative, incremental, and hybrid life cycles. Students select appropriate models based on project characteristics.

Lesson 1 • Integrated Change Control

Details the change control board process, impact analysis, and baseline updates. Students apply a structured approach to evaluating and approving changes.

Lesson 2 • Directing and Managing Project Work

Focuses on executing approved plans, managing deliverables, and generating work performance data. Links execution activities to monitoring and control.

Lesson 3 • Developing the Project Charter

Covers inputs, tools, and outputs for formally authorising a project. Students draft charter components that align business need with project objectives.

Lesson 4 • Project Management Plan Development

Explains how subsidiary plans integrate into one governing document. Establishes the baseline framework referenced in all subsequent knowledge areas.

Lesson 1 • Scope Planning and Definition

Covers requirements collection, scope statement creation, and scope management planning. Establishes boundaries that prevent scope creep throughout execution.

Lesson 2 • Cost Baseline and Budget Management

Explains how to aggregate estimates into a cost baseline and performance measurement baseline. Students interpret budget at completion and management reserve.

Lesson 3 • Schedule Development and Network Diagrams

Applies activity sequencing, duration estimating, and critical path method. Students calculate float and identify the critical path on a network diagram.

Lesson 4 • Resource and Cost Estimation

Introduces analogous, parametric, and bottom-up estimating for cost and resources. Connects estimation accuracy to project risk and contingency planning.

Lesson 1 • Quality Management Planning

Covers quality standards, metrics, and the cost of quality framework. Aligns quality planning with scope and customer acceptance criteria.

Lesson 2 • Resource Planning and Acquisition

Addresses physical and human resource planning, RACI charts, and team acquisition. Prepares students to staff projects within organisational constraints.

Lesson 3 • Communications Planning and Management

Builds a communications management plan using stakeholder analysis and channel formulas. Ensures the right information reaches the right audience at the right time.

Lesson 4 • Quality Assurance and Control

Distinguishes process audits from product inspections and applies control charts. Students identify defects and recommend corrective actions.

Lesson 1 • Procurement Planning and Contract Types

Explains make-or-buy analysis, contract types, and procurement documents. Students match contract types to risk allocation scenarios.

Lesson 2 • Risk Response Planning and Monitoring

Covers threat and opportunity response strategies and residual risk tracking. Connects response planning to contingency reserves and schedule buffers.

Lesson 3 • Qualitative and Quantitative Risk Analysis

Applies probability-impact matrices and EMV calculations to prioritise risks. Students distinguish when qualitative analysis suffices versus when quantitative tools are needed.

Lesson 4 • Risk Management Planning and Identification

Establishes risk appetite, risk categories, and identification techniques such as brainstorming and checklists. Produces a risk register as the primary output.

Lesson 1 • Agile Manifesto and Principles

Examines the four values and twelve principles of the Agile Manifesto and their PM implications. Establishes the mindset shift from plan-driven to value-driven delivery.

Lesson 2 • Kanban and Lean Fundamentals

Introduces Kanban boards, WIP limits, and lean waste reduction principles. Provides contrast to Scrum for exam scenario differentiation.

Lesson 3 • Agile Metrics and Reporting

Covers velocity, burndown charts, and cumulative flow diagrams for tracking agile progress. Connects agile metrics to stakeholder transparency requirements.

Lesson 4 • Hybrid Delivery Model Design

Explains how organisations blend predictive and agile practices for complex projects. Students identify triggers for adopting hybrid approaches.

Lesson 1 • Exam Day Strategy and Logistics

Prepares candidates for check-in procedures, break policies, and mental focus techniques. Reduces test anxiety through procedural familiarity and confidence-building routines.

Lesson 2 • Full-Length Practice Exam Simulation

Simulates a timed 150-question exam under realistic conditions to build stamina and pacing. Identifies weak domains for targeted review before the real exam.

Lesson 3 • Targeted Review and Weak Area Remediation

Uses practice exam results to prioritise focused review of low-scoring domains. Applies spaced repetition and active recall to reinforce retention.

Lesson 4 • Cross-Domain Scenario Practice

Presents integrated scenarios requiring knowledge from multiple knowledge areas simultaneously. Builds the analytical reasoning needed for situational exam questions.
