thinQtank® Learning is offering a unique three-day training camp comprised of three days of instructor-led learning that gives students the knowledge and skills needed to start a career in project management — from project life cycles, planning, roles and problem-solving tools, through predictive plan-based methods and agile frameworks, to the business analysis work that turns stakeholder needs into delivered requirements.

The camp follows the four domains of the PMI CAPM® Exam Content Outline and uses PMI terminology throughout. Every day includes realistic project scenarios and practice questions, so students leave able to build a plan, choose between predictive and adaptive approaches and gather requirements — not just recognize the terms. The course also provides the 23 hours of project management education PMI requires before you can sit the exam.

PMI, CAPM, PMP and PMBOK are registered marks of the Project Management Institute, Inc.

This course prepares students to take the PMI Certified Associate in Project Management (CAPM®) exam.
