Looking for a career in Project Management?

As a project manager, your certifications can go along way in boosting your career and take the graph of your career higher in the longer term. Both the CAPM exam and PMP course are excellent ways for project managers to test their skills and knowledge on a global scale and announce to the world that they are ready for taking up global challenges and work on an international level.
While CAPM (Certified Associate in Project Management) is for the newer blood, professionals with less experience, PMP (Project Management Professional) is for project managers who have been in the industry for a few years now and have considerable experience under their belt.

Once you are certified by the PMI, you have a worldwide appeal as a certified project manager with the ability to lead projects globally while leading and directing the entire team with cohesion towards the goal. The global exposure ensures that your career has no downward spiral and only grows from thereon. Both these certifications boost the chances of your career growth and your ability to draw in a higher salary.
