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. Click on
the links below for complete details on both of
these certifications.
