In today's episode of The Project Management Podcast™ we feature an interview with Frank Reynolds, Project Management Consultant, about the Certified Associate in Project Management (CAPM)®. The CAPM® is the PMI's certification for team members, junior project management practitioners or students with an interest in project management. Frank talks about what the exam is like, what the benefits of the CAPM® are and in particular, how an organization will benefit, when its resources who work on projects are CAPM® certified. We have our usual helpful resources and you can find out, if you have one one of two copies of Gerard Hill's book The Complete Project Management Office Handbook.
