IS DOING PMP WORTH OR NOT ?

Are you considering getting your PMP certification but wondering if it's the right move for your career? In this insightful video, our lead trainer, Gautham Sudakar, shares his valuable experience and advice on when and why you should pursue PMP certification.

In a rather straightforward approach Gautham starts by addressing a common misconception: getting PMP certified doesn't guarantee an instant promotion, salary hike, or a new project management job. He shares a real-life experience where someone he helped clear the PMP exam lacked practical project management knowledge.

To emphasize the importance of practical experience, Gautham discusses conversations with his successful students Deepak and Kim who secured new jobs or were able to apply their knowledge shortly after obtaining their PMP certifications. They attribute their success not just to the certification itself but also to the knowledge gained during our PMP bootcamp.

Gautham's message is clear: PMP certification is not just a three-letter acronym to put on your resume. It's about gaining real-world project management expertise and understanding the field deeply. Before pursuing PMP, ask yourself why you want it. If your goal isn't to acquire knowledge and improve your project management skills, it might not be the right choice. Otherwise you will end up damaging your reputation and PMP’s credibility.

Watch this video to gain valuable insights from Gautham Sudakar and make an informed decision about when to pursue your PMP certification. Don't just chase the certificate; focus on becoming a better project manager through genuine knowledge and experience.

I feel the same about the PMP as I do about a college degree. Nobody gets a promotion without experience; certifications and degrees are just bonuses that help us get promoted faster. I ell my younger coworkers, "Go to work every day and make good impressions." That's how you get promoted.

[stephaniekeeler]

Gautham, I believe you summarized the topic very well period having a piece of paper that allows you to put an acronym after your name does not mean you have acquired the knowledge
to be an effective project manager.

[StolenMOmentss]

I am with you, the PMP learning helped me immensely understanding and handling project management activities.

[pokefan]

This is not true for a lot of companies. I got my PMP and got promoted as Sr project manager required a PMP at my company. Also, if all the PMs I work with has PMPs, is the one I am working without one still as good? This is what clients think. Also shows dedication to your job and career.

[shahinepirzade]

Gautham I am with you. Knowledge has it own power and shortcuts never benefits. Thanks a lot for your hard work which you put in the Bootcamps 👍

[mahanteshwarad]

Definitely I am with you Gautam, not only PMP any exam are certifications will and should not help without complete knowledge

[abhashjdubey]

Gautham Iam with you, I strongly believe knowledge gained in life should be applied in professional world for personal and company development which is always a positive win win situation, strongly agree ❤

[s.rameshbaalaji]

Thanks Gautham for the video. It's an eye opener for the people who are taking lightly about PMP.

I personally studied for three months in preparing for the PMP exam. And I was successful in passing the exam last year. For me, I have been working in project management for over 15 + plus years. So a lot of the material was familiar to me ; like risks and issues, requirements development, procurements/contracts, ect.

I did gain good knowledge that is applicable in my field/job. So to me, taking the PMP was worth it. Again, the exam is not easy and its a long exam. Got to be honest with yourself on why you need to have a PMP. I like project management and the tools that are provided from PMI.

Gautham I am with you. Gaining knowledge and using that knowledge in practical life should be the goal.

[vijayanandhini]

I'm happy you did this video Gautham. Very very true. No pain no gain. No implementation no improvement....!

[sowjanyapatwari]

Gautham am with you. Focus should be on acquiring knowledge only.

[meviveket]

[naveengs]

I am with you Gautam.

[fidelafominyen]

Thank you for this video Gautham, I'm with you.

[deepakutube]

Hi Gautham, right on spot. Your opinion is not limited to PMP but also applies to many other professional certifications like PMP. A certification earned with no knowledge it is suppose to signify or uphold of has a value no more than a piece of paper.

[sameerkraman]

Thanks, Gautham for the Valuable information and yes indeed the Goal must be Gaining Knowledge !

[nidhikohli]

Very true Gautham. This has been my experience too. Unless one really understands and implements, it will not be helpful

[tejeswararaobudumuru]

Hi Gautham, I agree with you 👍
After your bootcamp, I have implemented the Risk register, and I got clarity on when to Escalate.

[explorewithutk]

Any certification matters if we learn something from it and apply as well efficiently in our job role.
PMP certification will definitely help if it is earned with efforts and applied accordingly in job role and interviews.
