Attending 23 contact hours training in project management is aneligibility requirement for the CAPM examif you don’t have the required project management experience.
Many visitors asked me to provide them with good, online, cheap training programs for the CAPM exam. I used to recommend they take the PMP training program as no online CAPM training programs were available in the past.
However, now many renowned sources are providing 23 contact hours training programs for the CAPM exam. So, if you have not attended any training, you can join a CAPM training program.
In fact, attending a CAPM training program for the CAPM exam has a few advantages:
23 Contact Hours CAPM Training Programs
I will show you three CAPM training programs from where you can earn your 23 contact hours.
These training programs are PMI approved, their course content is based on the PMBOK Guide 6th Edition, and they are 100% online and self-paced.
Whizlabs
This is the most affordable 23 contact hours CAPM training program I have ever seen.
I have selected this course for three reasons:
- The price of this course is 9.95 USD.
- The course covers the complete PMBOK Guide 6th Edition.
- It gives you 750 CAPM exam practice questions.
So, if you are looking for the lowest priced 23 contact hours training program, you can buy this course.
GreyCampus
GreyCampus claims to have trained over 30,000 students with a passing rate above 95%. Their 23 contact hours training program explains PMBOK concepts. All chapters end with quizzes, and upon completion of the course, you get three mock tests.
This course provides you with flashcards so you can practice important facts and terms. You can download all the PowerPoint files used in the course, which is a big advantage of this program.
With this course, you will get a 3-day, instructor-led training session.
The price of this course is 200 USD and access is for one year. This course has a 3-day money-back guarantee. If you dislike the course, you can ask for a refund.
Although the cost of this course is a little high, you can get a 50% discount using coupon codePMSC.
PM PrepCast for CAPM
PM PrepCast for CAPM was developed by Mr. Cornelius Fichtner. He is a well-known trainer for the PMP certification exam. This course contains video sessions explaining the entire PMBOK Guide.
The CAPM is completely based on the PMBOK Guide. You will find only exam questions from this guide.
This course provides you with 60 contact hours, which is 37 contacts hours more than required. So, if your CAPM credential has expired and you want to apply for the PMP exam, you can do it without attending another training program.
The price of this program is 229 USD, and it comes with a 90-day money-back guarantee.
The price of this program is high, but it is worthwhile.
Summary
You will find many CAPM training programs. These three programs are well known for their quality, have solid support, and they are affordable, online and self-paced. Since the CAPM is an entry-level exam, you should not spend a lot of money on costly training programs. Pass the CAPM exam, gain experience, and then apply for the PMP exam.

hi
i have a master degree in project management , does this count as contact hours ?
You can count the relevant hours aligning with the PMBOK Guide.
Is the WhizLabs CAPM training program classified as self-directed learning? If so, does it still satisfy the entirety of the 23 contact hours required to take the final exam for certification?
Yes.
Hi,
I am a Geologist with almost 2 years as Mud loggger/ Data Analyst and 6 years as a Lecturer. would all these equate the 23 hours to make me eligible for the CAPM?
You need a formal training. Work experience is not counted here.

Yes, you can apply for the CAPM.
Hello Mavism, Walaikum Assalam,

Does 23 self study hours count? Or does it have to be some formal course you pay for and do online or in class?
No.
There are many ways to earn these contact hours.

What if I’ve taken a Project Management Course, at a 4-year university. Will it count towards meeting the 23 contact hours?
Yes, you can.
Hi Fahad,
I just enrolled for a PMP training n now realised that I m not eligible for the PMP exam. So, I have decided to write only the cAPM. So,I would like to know if my PMP training would equip me to clear the CAPM exam and how long the 35 PDUs earned would be valid.
Thanks,Betsy
Yes, it is valid for the CAPM exam.
They are PMI approved REP, here is the detail:
REP link:https://ccrs.pmi.org/search/provider/1000001677
REP Id: 2359.
Hi Fahad,
The link is for another provider. The REP # is wrong. I couldn’t find it in the list.
You can contact them for further details. They informed me they provide certificate under their name.
I’m not seeing the Master of Project Academy provider listed on the PMI site as a REP. Do these course qualify for the PMI CAPM certification as REP course requirements at this time?
Hi,
I tried opening the link provided for ‘Master of Project Academy’ but it doesn’t work.
It is working here. You can try again.
Capm course of Master of Project Academy is great. I enrolled and followed the lectures.
Each knowledge area are divided into digestible and structured lectures. There are lots of practice questions as well.
I recommend it.
Thanks for sharing your experience.
