How hard is it to get a project management certification?
How hard is is it to get a project management certification dpends upon the certification requirements. Some certifications can be obtained by passing the certification exam after a 2-day course. These include the APM Project Fundamentals Qualification (PFQ), PRINCE2 Foundation, and AgilePM Foundation. However, some certifications, such as PMP® require candidates to have thousands of hours of project management experience which really means you need to have been working in a project management role for several years.
