What are the benefits of a professional project management certification?
While a professional certification isn't the only path to becoming a great project manager, there are some clear benefits for you and your career.
Recognition by Current or Potential Employers
An internationally recognised certification in project management, like the PMQ and PFQ, are the easiest way to instantly express your knowledge and skills on your CV or in performance reviews. Standout by illustrating the breadth of knowledge you have and your commitment to professional skills development.
Earning Potential
Studies illustrate that project managers with a recognised certification are in higher demand and make more money. Your short-term investment in acquiring a PMQ or PFQ will pay-off and put you on the path to building your career on the financial rewards of advancement.
Common Language
Understanding the use of project management terminology improves communications within your team and with senior management. A consistent understanding of the language of project management allows you to describe ideas and techniques more concisely while keeping everyone on the same page. This language is embedded throughout the PMQ and PFQ, and is transferable across roles, companies, industries, and even globally.
Opportunity to Formalise Knowledge and Fill Gaps
Learning on the job may be dependant on your line manager or mentors, making their knowledge gaps or biases yours. Formalising your knowledge with a PMQ or PFQ certification may solidify what you already know while also helping you identify and learn new techniques, approaches, and areas to enhance to make you a better project manager.
