The PM PrepCast For CAPM Comes in Two Versions: Basic and Elite:
The PM PrepCast was first launched in 2008 with the goal of providing high-quality but low-cost training to project managers preparing for their exam. Originally designed to help those preparing for their PMP exam, we have boosted it to also cover all CAPM topics. We also continuously updated it to stay in tune with the latest in available technology as well as the ever-increasing requirements of the CAPM exam. We invest a lot of time and effort into helping you pass, and you can select from one of two versions:
- PrepCast Basic
- The PrepCast Basic is our flagship exam training program. Watch best-in-class training lessons as you confidently prepare for your CAPM exam.
- PrepCast Elite
- In addition to the training lessons, this package gives you 90-day access to The PM Exam Simulator so you can practice what you have learned.
The PrepCast Elite is our most popular product. And even though the Elite is recommended for most students, let's begin by reviewing what you get with The PM PrepCast Basic:
What You Get - And What The PM PrepCast Basic Will Do for You...
When you're taking the CAPM exam, you'll always get a few of the same questions over and over...
... What tools and techniques are part of this process?
... What information does this project document contain?
... What inputs are needed before starting this process?
... What outputs does this process generate?
... What process is described in this situation?
... What is the next step you should perform?
So how can you gain the knowledge to answer questions like these? Well, when you not only study but instead master CAPM exam concepts with The PM PrepCast you have ADVANCED your knowledge, and you automatically give yourself a significantly better chance of being certified on your first try.
And as you probably already know, the CAPM exam is not an easy exam and passing it requires commitment and dedication throughout your studies in order to learn and internalize all the inputs, tools and techniques, as well as outputs from the PMBOK® Guide.
The PM PrepCast gives you a 'best-in-class' training, and you gain not just basic, but advanced-level knowledge via video-based lessons so that you can confidently answer questions similar to the ones above.
What's Inside the Latest Version of the Course?
The PM PrepCast Elite has now helped over 60,000 project managers in 160+ countries to study and prepare for either their PMP or CAPM exam. And passing the exam has earned them the respect of their peers and opened doors.
We spent over a year with our ear to the ground, analyzing every comment, every feedback survey response, and every support email to uncover what PrepCast students want most from our course. We also read the complete CAPM Exam Content Outline and the PMBOK® Guide Sixth Edition.
Here's what we discovered, how online training has changed, and what our students expect from a solid CAPM exam prep training:
CAPM Exam Preparation Has Changed... And we've Adapted Everything for You!
In response to these changes, we developed a new version of The PM PrepCast Elite to meet the needs of today's mobile student and to ensure that you are better prepared for your CAPM Exam.
You'll learn the concepts you're tested on during the exam. Either download all PrepCast video lessons directly to your phone and watch them offline or log on to our Learning Management System (LMS) from anywhere in the world and follow along the suggested learning path. Step by step.
Plus, you'll be able to test yourself along the way using the provided self-assessment questions in each module.

Immediately After Signing Up...
Module 1: Introduction to Project Management and Foundational Elements
In this introductory module, you review the basics of project management.

You will also learn about the importance of tailoring and review a number of project management business documents.Module 2: The Environment in Which Project Operate
This module introduces you to the all-important concepts of Organizational Process Assets and Enterprise Environmental Factors, which are two ITTOs that are referred back to in Module 4-13 again and again.

Integration is the 'conductor' of all project management activities. In this module, you learn to begin with the development of the project charter in order to ensure project stakeholders are in agreement. You also present the project management plan to the relevant stakeholders in order to obtain approval to proceed with project execution. You learn how to implement all project activities, measure project performance, and manage any changes to the project. Lastly, this is where you learn how to close a project.Module 5: Project Scope Management

The module also walks you through the development of a scope management plan, based on the approved project scope and using scope management techniques.Module 6 Project Schedule Management
Developing the project schedule requires you to understand how scope, resources, cost, and activity durations affect each other. You will see, step by step how to go from a simple activity list to the completed schedule. This development of the project schedule is done based on the approved project deliverables and milestones, scope, and resource management plans in order to manage timely completion of the project. Lastly, you learn how to control the schedule by applying appropriate tools and techniques.Module 7: Project Cost Management
In this module, we will show you how Earned Value Management techniques works. This is one of the most important concepts you must understand for the Exam. We'll take you through it step by step. In addition, you will also learn to develop the cost management plan based on the project scope, schedule, resources, approved project charter and other information, using estimating techniques, in order to manage project costs.Module 8: Project Quality Management
Here you will learn to develop the quality management plan and define the quality standards for the project and its products, based on the project scope, risks, and requirements. This helps prevent the occurrence of defects and controls the cost of quality. You'll also see how to implement the quality management plan using the appropriate tools and techniques. Lastly, you'll learn how to verify that project deliverables conform to the quality standards established in the quality management plan to meet project requirements and business needs.Module 9: Project Resource Management
This module is all about your interactions with project resources. In particular, you learn how to develop the human resource management plan by defining the roles and responsibilities of the project team members in order to create a project organizational structure and provide guidance regarding how resources will be assigned and managed. You will also see how to manage task execution based on the project management plan by leading and developing the project team in order to achieve project deliverables.Module 10: Project Communication Management

See how to develop the stakeholder management plan by analyzing needs, interests, and potential impact in order to effectively manage stakeholders' expectations and engage them in project decisions. It also includes how to maintain stakeholder relationships by following the stakeholder management plan in order to receive continued support and manage expectations.WE BASED EVERYTHING IN THE PM PREPCAST ON WHAT EXAM TAKERS ACTUALLY NEED:
The modules of The PM PrepCast are modeled after the PMBOK® Guide Sixth Edition for easy cross-referencing. For example Section 4 of the PMBOK® Guide matches up with Module 4 of The PM PrepCast.
The lessons of The PM PrepCast have been verified to contain all knowledge, skill, tools and techniques that are mentioned in the CAPM Examination Content Outline. And because it's in the exam outline it means that you will very likely see questions about it on your actual exam.
... and we're even giving you access to those lessons of The PM PrepCast that are intended for students preparing for their PMP exam because we want to give you the opportunity to go above and beyond the normal CAPM studies. These lessons are clearly marked as "Advanced/Optional" in the lesson directory. You may skip them, but by watching them anyway you will greatly increase your understanding of the concepts needed for your CAPM exam.
BY WATCHING THE PM PREPCAST LESSONS YOU WILL:
Increase your chance of passing the CAPM Exam with real-world examples to help you truly understand the CAPM exam concepts. You will know what to expect on the exam. Plus, our course makes you a better project manager, too.
Review the material from the PMBOK® Guide Sixth Edition but in a much more approachable, engaging and sometimes even entertaining fashion.
Understand Earned Value Techniques and be able to answer questions about them confidently.
Maximize your day by studying anywhere your phone or tablet goes. For instance on your drive to work, when you are outside riding your bike, or watch a lesson over lunch, as you are sitting on the bus or when you are waiting in line at the post office.
Get a chance to apply what you have learned in the lessons on ~250 self-assessment questions to test yourself and make sure you understood what you have learned.
Gain Official Recognition of Your Training with The PM PrepCast Certificate for 23 Contact Hours
Two weeks after your purchase you'll be eligible to take The PM PrepCast Final Exam. Once you answer at least 17 of 25 exam-style questions correctly you'll receive a personalized certificate for 23 contact hours with your name and the date you passed:
With this certificate, issued by a trusted and experienced education provider, you are now able to submit your CAPM application, take the exam and put those four coveted letters "CAPM" behind your name.
As you can see above, the certificate provides "60 Contact Hours / PDUs". This is because some students using The PrepCast actually need 60 of them. You only need 23. We have confirmed with PMI that there is no problem whatsoever if the certificate provides more than what you need. Furthermore, the good news for you is that if you, later on, decide to also take the PMP exam, then you can use the same certificate for your PMP application.

... Take the Next Step to Becoming CAPM Certified:
The CAPM Exam has become a lot harder in recent years because PMI has added over 200 more pages to the PMBOK® Guide.
It used to be enough to take a training course, read the PMBOK® Guide, answer a few sample questions and you would be ready to pass. No more! Questions on the exam have become harder, trickier and require you to have the guide internalized.
This means that you must not only get training but you must also get comfortable with the type and style of questions to expect on the exam using an online simulator. Therefore:
The PM PrepCast Elite includes both the basic training as well as our full-featured CAPM Exam Simulator.
