Interesting read — PMP® vs CAPM®: Which is best for your next career move?

A useful article by the Project Management Institute, PMI compares two of their best-known certifications: Project Management Professional (PMP®) and Certified Associate in Project Management (CAPM®).

"According to research, the global economy needs 25 million new project professionals by 2030. To close the talent gap, 2.3 million people will need to enter Project Management-oriented employment each year.

"Which certification you choose to pursue will ultimately depend on your current level of Project Management knowledge, experience, and the trajectory of your career.

"Getting CAPM certified means you will differentiate yourself when applying for a variety of roles within the profession, while also preparing yourself for the pursuit of more advanced certifications like the PMP. The CAPM is also a great choice for mid-career professionals who wish to expand and formalize their knowledge of project management.

"And getting PMP-certified demonstrates that you are among the best in your industry and validates your professional skills, experience, and ability to lead, direct, and deliver value on projects. Bonus: Our Earning Power report found that respondents with a PMP certification report higher median salaries than those without PMP certification — 33% higher on average across the 21 countries surveyed.
