23 hours of live training | Online or in Lausanne
Guaranteed to run. Maximum six participants.
For professionals building a solid project-management foundation
The course is suitable for people entering project work, contributing to projects in another role, or seeking a clearer understanding of project methods. You do not need previous project-management experience to pursue CAPM. The training provides the 23 hours of project-management education required by PMI.
Why choose Training Engineering?
Study the CAPM syllabus—not a shortened PMP course
CAPM has its own examination content outline. It covers project-management fundamentals (36%), predictive methods (17%), agile methods (20%) and business analysis (27%). A course designed for PMP may overlap with these topics, but it is not automatically a complete CAPM preparation course.
Understand business analysis and the needs behind a project
Learn how to identify stakeholder needs, gather and validate requirements, and connect them with what a project must deliver. Business analysis is a substantial, distinct part of the CAPM exam—not an optional extra.
Take part in the discussion, rather than just listen
With no more than six participants, there is time for questions, clear explanations and practical examples, even if project-management terminology is new to you.

He has trained project managers for 12 years and helped validate the French editions of PMI standards, including the PMBOK® Guide (6th and 7th editions) and the Agile Practice Guide.
Join the project-management community
One year of PMI and Switzerland Chapter membership provides access to professional resources and opportunities to connect with the wider project-management community.
Your learning and exam preparation
Start with an optional two-hour pre-course module
Use two hours of self-paced online videos to discover or review the essentials before the live course. No prior project-management knowledge is assumed.
Build your understanding through the 23-hour live course
Follow the official PMI CAPM course with explanations, discussion and practical examples. Learn the fundamentals, predictive and agile approaches, and business analysis in a coherent sequence.
Consolidate your knowledge and organize your revision
Use the Training Engineering CAPM revision booklet, official PMI course materials and a set of 50 practice questions to review essential ideas and plan your independent preparation.
Assess your readiness before taking the exam
Use the online practice app for questions, mock exams and self-assessment on your phone or computer. Identify gaps, monitor progress and decide what to revise. Practice scores are indicators, not a guarantee of passing.
What CAPM Plus adds to your preparation
Add five dedicated hours of guided exam practice
The Exam Booster provides five hours for reviewing exam questions and exam strategy with the trainer. Discuss difficult questions, compare plausible answers and understand the reasoning behind them. It takes place after the 23-hour course, on the date announced on our website.
Stay connected through a four-week Exam Prep Club
During the four weeks after the original course ends, join a one-hour online session each week, on a fixed day and time, to discuss CAPM exam questions and techniques. The club ends earlier if you pass the exam.
Revisit the course if further consolidation is useful
CAPM Plus also allows you to retake all or part of the live course at no extra cost, subject to available places. This benefit ends when you pass the exam or at the end of the stated retake period.
Use individual coaching for learning or career development
Career Group provides two 60-minute sessions, online or in person in Lausanne. Use them to support your preparation, clarify a professional direction or strengthen your professional positioning.
Access and support conditions
Course start and course end mean the first and final scheduled sessions of your original 23-hour course. The online practice app (both packages) starts on the first course day and ends when you pass the CAPM exam or 12 months after course end, whichever comes first. In Plus, the Exam Prep Club runs weekly for four weeks after course end and stops upon passing; free course retakes are available until you pass or 12 months after course end, whichever comes first, subject to available places. Neither the Exam Booster nor a course retake restarts these periods. The Plus exam fee covers one sitting: book it within 12 months after course end, choosing your exam date under PMI’s eligibility and scheduling rules. Additional sittings are not included. Coaching (Plus) and PMI and Switzerland Chapter membership (both packages) run for 12 months from confirmation of your place, including after passing.

CAPM FAQ
-
No. CAPM has a separate exam blueprint, including Business Analysis Frameworks (27% of the exam). A PMP course can provide useful overlap, but it should not be assumed to teach the entire CAPM syllabus. Choose training aligned specifically with CAPM.
-
Prior project-management experience is not required for CAPM. You still submit an application to PMI and meet its eligibility rules, including the 23-hour education requirement. Unlike PMP, CAPM does not require you to document experience leading projects; individual application coaching is therefore not part of this offer.
-
Yes. Every scheduled course runs. Groups are limited to six participants.
-
Live training offers explanations, dialogue and the chance to clarify unfamiliar concepts through examples. Both packages include independent study resources; Plus adds dedicated guided exam practice and follow-up support.
-
Use the practice app and mock exams to identify gaps and focus revision. No completion certificate or practice score guarantees readiness. Plus includes the four-week Exam Prep Club; Standard provides the resources for independent preparation.
-
Yes. We can invoice your employer directly.
