Why PMP® Certification?
- It boosts your résumé. When recruiters are looking for project managers, those with PMP certification tend to be prioritized over those who don't have it.
- Clients demand it. When people with PMP certification manage projects, the success rate increases. Many companies are making it mandatory to have the certification and you can't even apply for some positions without it.
- The media salary of certified project managers is considerably higher than non-certified ones. Various surveys across the world show that certified project managers earn almost 20% more than non-certified ones.
- It improves your project management skills. If you spend time and money getting the certification, it shows you are committed to project management. You don't just study theory for the certification but acquire many practical skills as well.
