3 benefits of becoming qualified in Project Management

It doesn’t matter where you are in your career, if you are already in project management or aspiring to become a project manager one day, having a project management certification can be a helpful asset to you and your organisation. Whilst you can have a successful project management career without having these accreditations, there are lots of benefits in having them.

1. Learn new skills and improve knowledge 
It’s always good to learn something new, especially best practice. Using best practice to formalising the things that you know (and what you don’t know) will help to solidify your knowledge and put your skills into practice. A lot of the skills are also transferable across other industries so even if you are not in or move away from  project management, having a project management qualification will definitely help your professional development and journey in the long term.

2. Enhance your employability
Gaining a project management certification helps to validate those skills you have accumulated so it’s great to these certifications your CV. Many employers seek for PRINCE2 or equivalent industry recognised certifications when looking for potential candidates to hire. So it’s always good to tick off any prereqisites to help get shortlisted.

So whether your employer is funding or you are self-funding, it is an investment in yourself to show you are willing to challenge yourself whilst building your experience. Gaining that accreditation also shows that you are dedicated to your role and passionate about succeeding. The more driven you are the more likely you are at increasing your chances of project success, driving your project sales and salary upwards.
