PMP® and CAPM® Certification Information

Perhaps the biggest trend in IT training and certification is towards Project Management. Information technology professionals are acquiring project management skills as rapidly as the IT platforms they support. PMI®'s PMP® certification has become the "must have" of all non technical certifications in information technology. But what about those professionals who don't have the prerequisite knowledge or skill sets to take the PMP® test? Introducing the CAPM® (Certified Associate in Project Management). The skills learned are the same but the test doesn't require the same degree of practical experience. Get the facts on the differences in PMP® and CAPM® certification.
