CAPM

Dear PMI Community,  I hope this message finds you well. I am new to the PMI platform and have three years of experience working in project management as a Project Coordinator.

Currently, I am looking to obtain my CAPM certification but feel a bit overwhelmed on where to begin the process.  As a student and currently between roles, I am mindful of the financial investment required for the PMI course.

Unfortunately, at this time, I am unable to allocate the $350 fee.  I would greatly appreciate any advice or recommendations on how to get started with my CAPM certification journey, particularly any cost-effective resources or study strategies that have been beneficial to others.  Thank you in advance for your guidance and support.  
Kind regards,   Coya G.
