Do I need to prepare anything before the webinar?

Nothing. If you want to get in the right frame of mind, spend two minutes naming what exactly is stopping you from starting in project management. But just showing up is enough.

I have no project experience. Is this webinar for me?

It is exactly for you. CAPM is the only PMI certification with no experience requirement. You need a secondary education diploma and preparation. The preparation is what we will talk about.

I have not decided whether I need certification at all

That is a normal place to start from. Come, hear what the path looked like for Andrii, and ask your questions. The decision will be easier after the conversation, whichever way it goes.

How is CAPM different from the PMP?

The PMP requires 36 months of project leadership experience, CAPM requires none. CAPM is built as the entry point: a globally recognized foundation that also makes later PMP preparation noticeably shorter.

The exam and the course are in English, and my English is average

B1 or higher is enough. You do not need perfect English, you need to read exam questions accurately. Ask Andrii how it went for him. The webinar itself is in Ukrainian.

Will the recording be available?

We plan to share the recording with everyone who registers, but live attendance is worth it for the Q&A.

ABOUT THIS WEBINAR

Why we are running this webinar

A project management career rarely starts with the job title "project manager". It starts with doubts. Do I know enough. Will anyone take me seriously without experience. Is certification worth it this early. Andrii Chychyrkin went through those questions and passed the CAPM, PMI's entry certification, the only one that requires no project experience. In this webinar he will show what the path to a first credential looks like from the inside. Where to start. How long preparation takes. What is hard on the exam and what only looks hard. And what changes once CAPM appears on your CV. Natalia Starynska will ask the questions. Andrii will answer them honestly. Why attend live? Because most people considering CAPM get stuck on doubts, not on the material. Hear what the path looks like from someone who just walked it, and ask your own questions in the Q&A. INSTAR's CAPM prep group starts in October, so you can put the answers to work right away.
