PMP certification is the most important industry-recognized certification for project managers. Obtaining a PMP certification provides opportunities in many fields such as in finance, consulting, construction, Information Technology, biotech, telecommunications, manufacturing, healthcare and many other industries around the globe. The PMP also increases your earning potential. PMP certification holders earn 22 percent more than their non-certified peers according to Earning Power: Project Management Salary Survey, Eleventh Edition. Employers benefit as well. When more than one-third of their project managers are PMP-certified, organizations complete more of their projects on time, on budget, meeting original goals, and they all speak the same language. (Pulse of the Profession® study, PMI™, 2015.) The Pulse of the Profession study from 2020 shows that more than half of those surveyed require certification for their project professionals.

CAPM™ certification – Organizations with standardized practices attain better results and because the CAPM™ recognizes your knowledge of the profession’s preeminent global standard, you’ll stand out to employers and be poised to move ahead.
