Discussion, which certification you to choose
![Page 29: Arkatay about Certificates for project managers](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022030306/58d121df1a28ab2a738b5a67/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)

Many factors influence which certification to choose:
29
Which certificate is right for you?
• Are you looking for a traditional or an agile certification?
• What is your level of experience?
• Do you want a general or specific certification?
• Where in the world do you plan to work?
• Do you work on local or global projects?
• How soon do you want your new certificate?
• How much time are you willing to invest?
• Are you aiming to increase your rates or salary?
• Do you want to focus on knowledge, method, process or behavior?
• Has your organization chosen a preferred certification?

• Both IPMA and PMI provide well defined career paths through certifications
• PMI certifications are usually cheaper and quicker to get
• IPMA certifications usually provide more of a learning experience
• PRINCE2 is a good methodology (go for Practitioner), but not a general PM certification
