Having completed the PMP training I have applied to the exam, once I have this under my belt should I move onto another course or focus on honing my craft and building my network here? I enjoyed learning, applying learnings and meeting likeminded contacts during the training. Any advice welcome please? Saving Changes...

I got my PMP in 2003. The following years, I found myself constantly educating colleagues, managers and other stakeholders in the art and science of project scheduling. In order to properly display this competency, I obtained my PMI-SP in 2012.
Forward another three years and I'm neck-deep into manufacturing and finance projects, where risk is king. To showcase my risk management skills, I secured my PMI-RMP in 2017.
The moral is that what you do in life will reveal to you what your next focus should be. My next one is likely the PMI-ACP, given my current project. Saving Changes...
This information is very helpful. I'm in the middle of completing the PMP exam prep course. I've joined the local chapter and build my network. I'm excited about what the future holds in the industry. I've always liked looking at the big picture and breaking it down into smaller pieces. What really excites me about PM is that you're serving people and you have the ability to show creative ideas. Saving Changes...

Additional practical experience will help you to practice the learnings in different situations. Keep in mind that PMBOK is a framework and tailoring of the framework is what you will learn by application.
Having said that, with a continuous evolution in this industry additional formal education like Agile, ITIL, Change Management etc. Will further give you the tools for the real world that will complement the PMP. Saving Changes...
