            A recent PMI R.E.P. Benchmarking Survey shows that

            Last year, almost 700,000 professionals turned to a

Certifying Employee Expertise and Increasing Organizational Performance
    
    
    
       
            Countless organizations around the world value
            PMI’s certifications as one of the most
            effective means to verifying project management
            expertise. It can be seen as a hiring
            requirement or preferences in a wide range of
            industries: from finance to healthcare, from
            media to construction, from government to IT.
        
        
             
        
        
            One recent PriceWaterHouseCoopers study makes
            clear the reason why PMI certifications are so
            widely used: in a global survey of hundreds of
            projects from organizations around the world,
            PMI’s credential holders were identified
            as the group most responsible for delivering
            high-performing projects.
        
        
             
        
        
            Today, almost 500,000 project managers of all
            levels from organizations around the world have
            identified one of PMI’s certifications as
            the most effective way to validate their
            project management knowledge and expertise.
