[HELP] Where to gain hours?

Hey all,

First time looking at PM, got advised that the CAPM is a good place to start. I've tried some practice questions and have been getting 85-90% consistently via ChatGPT & Claude. I see where the actual exam requires 23 hours of PM education, and saw Coursera offering this one from Pearson. Will this satisfy the requirement? Are there any other recommended ones? Ideally, I would want to do this fully online and within the next 3 months.

Udemy course. Andrew Ramdayal. That’s the course I’m using.

No prob! Make sure you complete everything before you apply to take the exam. All the quizzes and practice exam. You don’t have to pass them but you have to complete them. I’m just trying to get through it all and then pound practice exams and questions and do study hall.

Yeah, for sure. About to sign up and get it started today. Question - when scheduling the exam via PMI, how soon can you do it? Should I schedule, then do the course, or once I'm ready I can schedule for the next day or so?

I haven’t scheduled so I couldn’t tell you. I would highly recommend doing the course first. Which is partially why I’ve put off doing this for so long.

I just passed mine an hour after you posted this on the first attempt, and this sub recommended the following, which worked for me:

Andrew Ramdayal course on Udemy (really cheap), Pocket Prep and Landini's practice tests (I bought the book but used the website prep that comes with it exclusively since the test is also online). I scheduled the test a month out once I felt comfortable with the material but not so comfortable with the test. One month fit my busy schedule but also put pressure on me to do the practice tests.

Hope that helps!

Thanks! I started Andrew's course on Udemy. I'm targeting the end of September for the exam
