Credential Value
What is the value of a Project Management Professional (PMP) credential?
The Project Management Professional (PMP®) is the only certification recognized world-wide as setting a standard for project management capability and experience. It is rapidly gaining in acceptance and strength with more than 180,000 World Wide PMP’s. This certification is also becoming a minimum requirement for appointment of senior project managers in many local and international companies. The PMP designation following your name tells current and potential employers that you have a solid foundation of project management knowledge that can be readily applied in the work place.
