Project Management Certification - PMP or Prince2?

Azhar

Both are in a way different and provide different value. Of course in the UK, I hear that PRINCE2 carries more weight But on the other hand, PMP is more globally recognized.

Since you’re located in the UK, I suggest you start with the Prince 2 credential and then you can continue your journey to the PMP.

Azhar -

To add to Rami's feedback, I'd suggest checking which PM certification carries more weight within Coca-Cola (assuming that is where you intend to continue to work) as well as within other companies within the same industry. In general, PRINCE2 has had more penetration in Europe given it was developed by the OGC in the U.K., but that doesn't mean that certain companies or industries might not favor the PMP and with Coke being a U.S.-based company, they might have standardized on the PMP as their de facto PM certification.

I spoke to two different Prince2 and PMP holders. One working for the UN and one with the Ministry of Defense in the UK. They both said they like PMI standard better.

This two (PMP & PRINCE) are best of both worlds.
