How valuable is a project management certificate?

How valuable a project management certificate is lies in its recognition as a standard in the industry. Different certificates hold different value in different countries. In the Americas and Asia, the PMP® certification is valued by employers because the knowledge, skills, and experience it encompasses can be applied across various sectors internationally. For careers related to project management, having this certification is frequently a requirement.

In the UK and Europe, PRINCE2 qualifications are more desirable, and in the UK APM qualifications are the most sought after.
