Certified Associate in Project Management (CAPM)® Qualifications and Training
You have to apply to the Project Management Institute (PMI)® before you can sit the exam. There’s a strict protocol as they have to authenticate that the pre-requisite criteria has been met prior to exam attendance. In order to understand the PMI process we recommend you review the CAPM handbook on the PMI website.

The CAPM exam is not included with ILX courses.
