Project Managers are responsible for competing
tasks at any given time and are required to make
decisions that affect the outcome of a project.
Typical tasks include planning, executing and
closing out projects, along with taking care of
budgets and any issues that may arise. Questions
that I often receive from candidates who are
looking to get into Project Management are what
certification should I obtain?. There are a
number of courses available in the market and
here is a list of the most common certifications
that Project Managers have under their belt
PRINCE2 Practitioner
PRINCE2 stands for Projects In Controlled
Environments and was first introduced in the
Government offices of the United Kingdom. It was
then introduced into the corporate sector and now
many organisations around the world use this
methodology. The PRINCE2 certification is divided
into three levels, PRINCE2 Foundation, PRINCE2
Practitioner and PRINCE2 Professional.

Project Management Professional (PMP)
Project Management Professional is a well known
and widely accepted certification for Project
Managers and has a great reputation globally. PMP
certification is offered by the Project
Management Institute (PMI). To obtain the PMP
certification, you will need to pass the training
examination and have a strong understanding of
different methods of planning, scheduling,
monitoring and controlling a project from
beginning to end.
5
Certified Project Manager (CPM)
This certification is offered through
International Association of Project and Program
Management (IAPPM). This methodology looks at how
resources such as time, money and people can be
carefully utilised throughout the duration of the
project. Communications, Marketing, HR, Risk
Management, IT and Quality Management are other
areas of focus in this certification.

CompTIA Project
CompTIA Project certification is aimed more at
entry level professionals and follows a general
project management model. Project originated in
the 1990s and delivers a number of certifications
globally. Unlike some of the other
certifications, this one does not require any
prerequisites. If you have worked on small to
medium scale projects before, it will be easy to
understand the concepts. Once this certification
is completed, you can apply for roles such as
Project Analysts, Project Coordinators and Junior
Project Managers.

Agile Certified Practitioner
Offered by PMI, this is one of the most highly
rated Agile certifications. It is for those who
are already in leadership or want to get a
leadership role in their current project
management team. It is also for those who have
been applying Agile principles and methodologies
in their day to day project tasks. To obtain this
certification you need to have at least a minimum
of 1,500 hours of work experience on Agile
projects and 2,000 hours of overall project
management work experience.
