The benefits of any project management certification are that it automatically leads to the market value of the certified professional, increasing. Companies have started to realize that such certified professionals can be real assets and will therefore offer salaries substantially higher than what is offered to the normal cadre of project managers.  If you are working as a consultant, such certification will mean that prospective clients will give you preference when they want to hire such services.

These minimum requirements have to be established before you can apply for the exam that will give you your CAPM certification.

Knowledge or PMBOK forms the guide to all the questions that are asked during CAPM exams and will constitute 150 questions from various chapters that need to be answered in 3 hours. Such training can take between 2 and 4 months if a proper schedule is maintained. Each section of the PMBOK needs to be covered and such on-line CAPM training courses enable you to also go through an exam stimulation to judge your readiness to take the exam. You can also go through such exam stimulation for every topic and it is always necessary to ensure that you obtain a score of between eighty and ninety percent on each stimulated exam.
