Is PMP good for beginners?
Is PMP® good for beginners? The PMP® certification, known as a 'gold-standard', is typically not suited for beginners. It requires candidates to have 3 to 5 years of experience in a project management role.
Thus, novice project managers often seek other certifications that can provide them with an initial boost in their career.
A better qualification for beginners would be PRINCE2 Foundation in the UK, or CAPM® in the USA.
