CAPM Fast Forward is a focused, high-impact crash review course designed for CAPM candidates who have already completed their initial studies and need a comprehensive review to ensure first-time exam success. Rather than re-teaching introductory material, this course identifies weak areas, reinforces knowledge, and teaches you to think the way PMI® expects by emphasizing the PMI® mindset behind each concept.
This intensive crash-review course features over 400 videos, nearly 1,000 Ultimate Tips for Exam Success, and 1,200+ questions, including six full-length practice exams. Course videos summarize the most important information you need for the exam and consolidate your learning. The Ultimate Tips for Exam Success sections pinpoint the types of questions you should expect on the exam and highlight common traps, key priorities, and PMI® mindset principles tested on the CAPM exam. The full-length practice exams test understanding, expose weak areas, and build exam-ready decision-making under real CAPM exam conditions.
The CAPM exam includes predictive, agile, and hybrid project management approaches. There is no chance of passing the exam if you are experienced in only one approach, which is the case for most test-takers. Therefore, this course covers all approaches.
As project management practices have undergone dramatic changes in the last decade, PMI introduced a radical transformation in its standards as well as the CAPM exam content, which is no longer solely structured around PMI’s Process Groups model. Therefore, this course is not an update from a previous edition. Instead, it has been written from scratch to reflect this significant transformation, as it would not be feasible to create a course that properly addresses this crucial shift in project management practices otherwise.
Upon completion of this course and the practice exams, candidates earn the 23 contact hours and certificate of completion required by PMI® to sit for the CAPM exam.

"This cram course was exactly what I needed to tie everything together before the exam. I had already gone through the PMBOK guide, but this course helped me identify my weak areas and strengthen them quickly. The modules are short, engaging, and focused on what truly matters. The five practice exams felt just like the real thing. I passed my CAPM on the first try with above target scores across all domains."
