[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My opinion is it's a waste of time and money.  DH has a project management certificate.  He said it was the worst money he's ever spent.

My boss also has it and said the classes were a waste of time.

I would only do it if my job paid for it.  Don't expect it to do any amazing things for your career. [/quote]

+1.  I have my PMP and 10 yrs govt PM experience.  What I do daily has nothing to do with the exam.  The exam is an exercise in test taking.  I am a great test taker.  I studied for 4 hours and took the exam at 8.5 months pregnant at the end of the work day.  I was tired, fat, cranky, and I had to pee every 20 min it seemed.  Of course I forgot to ask for accommodations so the time I spent going to the bathroom counted against the time I had for the test.  After about 1.5 hrs, I had enough.  I pushed the submit button and was done with the exam.  I scored pretty high and that was that.  I can't imagine paying money to learn how to take this test and I don't put much stock in the certificate.[/quote]
