What Are the CAPM Eligibility Requirements?

1. Secondary education or greater as well as 1,500 hours of professional experience on a Project Team OR
2. Secondary education or greater as well as 23 contact hours of formal Project Management education

The CAPM should be sought by those who aspire to become Project Managers, but do not have yet the necessary experience.
