Project management certification

A question which comes up time and again is about the benefits of project management certification. Most people undertaking project management professional certification do so because they think it will help their career. If you are a project manager already and want to increase your professional standing, is seeking project management professional certification a good thing?

By becoming a certified project manager, you will be showing prospective employers that you have attained a certain level of knowledge in your professional area that is recognised by industry and fellow project managers alike. A CV (resume) indicating a project manager certification is going to be placed higher on the pile than a similar CV not containing a recognised project management certification.

Advertised project management jobs in the UK tend to specify project management certification. In the last 6 months of 2005, more than 60% of all project management job advertisements specified PRINC2 project management certification as a key skill.
