Can you clarify the question - are you asking how many years it might take someone to attain all of PMI's existing certifications?
Would the one-time and ongoing costs and risks of appearing to be "Jack of all trades, master of none" not be a deterrent to such a pursuit?

Exactly Kiron, that is what I am asking.I must say that I love your quote very much: "Jack of all trade and master of none".I do not want to be this kind of expert, I just want to be skilled in two or three domains and stay focused deepening my knowledge there. But I would want to know all the opportunities that are given to me to optimize my career management. Saving Changes...

You can complete them all in one year if you’re dedicated but I honestly see no value in doing so at all.

Something which doesn't have value doesn't need to be undertaken.

I concur with Kiron on this.
Even though PMI certifications are driven by your future aspirations , a good understanding of which direction you should focus comes from understanding of different certificates and what it intents. Saving Changes...

Thank you so much guys: Rami, Anish and Sante. There are two aspects of the question to take into account:
1) First the spiritual need we can have to pass and succeed the highest possible degree.
2) The need to concentrate in one or two specialties in order to withdraw the maximum profit possible.
I'm considering the second aspect of the question and that's why I am talking about optimization. Saving Changes...

By the time you have completed all the PMI certifications there will probably be another one! Some of them overlap as well - you wouldn't need to take CAPM and PMP at the same time, simply to say you had them both. There wouldn't be any value in that to you or an employer.

Hi Elizabeth, my mentor whose opinion I strongly believe. Thank you so much for the advice.
I'd pick the certification most relevant to my your career/future aspirations and not try to get a "full set". I only know a few people that have all of them. Saving Changes...
