CAPM Exam Prep Seminar -Updated for the 2023 CAPM Exam (Udemy.com)

Pass the CAPM and Earn 25 Contact Hours to Qualify for the CAPM Exam

Created by: Joseph Phillips

Last updated March 2026

Our take

Based on the ratings of 35,288 students, a sample of their written reviews and the syllabus, as the course stood in March 2026. No course pays to be reviewed.

Joseph Phillips' CAPM seminar is built around the 2023 exam content outline and is meant to satisfy the 25 contact hours PMI asks for when you apply. It is big: about 44 hours across 451 lectures and 35 sections, with 35 quizzes, 20 assignments, and two practice tests. The syllabus covers predictive and adaptive approaches, business analysis, and a long run of exam terms. It is aimed at people ready to sit the exam who already know some project basics.

Most of the 35,288 ratings are 4 or 5 stars, and the sample backs that up. Reviewers call the explanations clear, the pace reasonable, and the videos short enough to follow. One reviewer used it as the base of an 8 week plan and passed. The complaints repeat, though. Several say quiz questions are vague or cover topics not yet taught, and some found the lectures repetitive or too close to reading the slides. One reviewer ran into terms while studying for the exam that the course had not covered, and another felt the 49 processes got only a brush.

The last update was March 2026, so the material is recent. Length is the real cost. One reviewer said the progress bar barely moves and found the course much longer than another they had bought. If the contact hours are the goal, this does that job well. Treat it as the foundation of a study plan, and add outside practice exams, since reviewers found the quizzes uneven.

Best forPeople who need the 25 contact hours for the CAPM application and want a steady, structured walk through the exam outline.
Skip it ifYou want quick exam cramming, or you already know project basics and mainly need tough practice questions.

Pros

  • Counts as the 25 contact hours PMI requires, tracked through course completion
  • Short videos and clear explanations that reviewers say are easy to follow
  • Covers predictive, adaptive, and business analysis sections of the 2023 outline
  • Includes quizzes, assignments, two practice tests, and PDF term sheets

Cons

  • Quizzes get called vague and sometimes test topics not yet covered
  • Around 44 hours is long, and some reviewers found it repetitive
  • Some reviewers say terms were missing and the 49 processes only brushed through
This course was the foundation of a study plan that helped me to get this done in 8 weeks as planned.

el video no viene directamente con subtitulos en español, o tengan en cuenta con lo avanzado que vamos con la inteligencia artificial , no hacer que la IA doble el video en diferentes idiomas, por lo cual aunque la informacion es excelente esta limitada su comprencion para usuarios que no hablen ingles y tengan que traducir usando otros metodos

By Issol Am on 7/11/2026

I would say it was fine overall. It showed a lot of preparation and detailed explanation. But some quizzes were testing subjects that had not yet been discussed in that section, which made me first wonder and then, when repeated, feel a bit frustrated. Also, as many parts are getting updated when needed, I remember a question in the exams referencing "Windows 98". That felt pretty outdated, personally. Besides, the 49 processes didn't feel adequately explained or handled, only just brushed through during related lectures, and I had to remain unclear on them until I reviewed and tested in other lecturers' mock exam materials. All in all, I passed the CAPM yesterday.

By Diana Hoong Zi Xin on 6/28/2026

Clear explanations and examples are given in every sections, which helps to understand concepts easily. I also love the encouraging quotes that Mr Joseph say in the end of every video :))) thank you Mr Joseph!!

I just took and passed the CAPM exam with Above Target in Agile principles and BA Analysis framework and on target for PM fundamentals and Predictive. This course was the foundation of a study plan that helped me to get this done in 8 weeks as planned. Keep moving forward means don't get caught up on studying too much and just sit for the exam.

By Jeremy D Shorter on 5/1/2026

I spent 8 weeks studying 6 out of 7 days each week, multiple hours each of those days, and took my test on the 8th week, and passed! I couldn't be happier! Admittedly, I purchased the PMBOK 8th Edition and was extremely confused for the first 4 weeks before I figured out I needed the 6th Edition for the material being presented. Once I got that, the whole thing opened up and I better understood what was being taught. Joseph, here, does an outstanding job presenting the information. This is apparently a 5-year-old (in 2026) course, but if I can pass the exam studying that much with this material, then that means he just does that great a job teaching it! Well done, sir, and thank you. :)

By Weston Mauss on 3/26/2026

Although I have had jobs that had elements of project management, I did not have any formal education or experience as a project manager. This course gave me all the information I needed to pass the exam on the first try. It was about 5 weeks from when I started this course to when I took the exam. I wanted the information in my head to be as fresh as possible. Obviously, very happy with the results!

By Amanda Moore on 3/17/2026

yes I've learned a lot through this course. I like to take a lot of notes so I can etch it in my mind better than if id do otherwise rather than just adding a noted area. so it is a little time consuming for me but id rather learn it right the first time so I'm ready for the exam!

By Abigail Weighell on 2/23/2026

Thank you, Joseph Phillips, for such an excellent course! I took my CAPM exam yesterday and passed with AT/T/AT/A! Joseph does an outstanding job of breaking down complex ideas and concepts so you can truly understand them at a fundamental level. His explanations are clear, structured, and easy to follow, which made a huge difference in my exam preparation. I highly recommend this course to anyone preparing for the CAPM exam. It gave me the confidence and knowledge I needed to succeed!

By Kristopher Reeve on 2/13/2026

Joseph, you were right, I passed and on the first try. Your course helped pave the way for me successfully passing and above target on the first three domains and on target in the business analysis domain. I will admit I studied a lot longer than I care to admit, but your content, mock exams, and coaching contributed to my success. Thanks again...next up, PMP!

By Robert Baker on 1/23/2026

I took this course as well as Joseph's cram session and passed the CAPM exam last week. I Went through the entire course a couple of months ago but would go back and retake the quizzes and refresh my memory with any questions I struggled with. I also took the cram session twice. Once about a month prior to the exam and again the week before. The quizzes and practice test really seemed to help. If others can do it, you can too.

By Samita Darne on 11/21/2020

yes this content is very good.

By Shees Hassan on 11/7/2020

So for so good. The instructor is super confident and I hope after completing this course I will be as much confident about all this. But for that, I have to work hard for the next 4 weeks...
Thanks for the effort. Really appreciate it.
