Hi friends! I am looking to change career paths and get into project management. I'm doing a good bit of research in order to prepare for the CAPM exam. Does anyone know of any courses that will help me prepare for the exam and waive any hours needed in order to take the exam. My local community college offers a course however the registration date recently passed. Anything helps, thanks! Saving Changes...

Blake, here is what I suggest you do:
1) If you want a course to fulfill your Educational Hours then check Joseph Phillips courses on Udemy. He is a PMI ATP, a great instructor and his courses are self-paced and very affordable. Alternatively, you can check out PMI's self-paced course in the PMI Store (It was previously called PM Basics and was the official PMI prep course for the CAPM exam but PMI launched a new course to replace it, the PMI® Authorized On-Demand Certified Associate in Project Management (CAPM)® Exam Prep Course").
2) Besides PMI Study resources and guides, I highly recommend you purchase Rita Mulchay’s CAPM Exam Prep book, I think 5th edition is the latest, but double check. This is one of the best resources for exam preparation.
3) After you are done, purchase the Simulator Package through PM Prep Cast and practice as much as you can. This is a great CAPM simulator and resource for questions that mimic the real exam.
Hope this helps - Let me know if you have further questions - Good Luck! Saving Changes...
