For information gathering and educational purposes, I am seeking out information on recognized project management bodies, associations, alliances, methodology institutes, certification providers, and the like.
Selected examples like PMI, IPMA, APM, Axelos, IAPMO, Scrum Alliance, Agile Alliance, etc.
If you know any not mentioned by me, please free to send a link in the comments. Saving Changes...
Thanks, Kiron, I checked. Valuable information as well.

IPMA is an umbrella for about 70 national PM organizations, APM as you mentioned one of them. Others are German GPM, Russian Sovnet, Swiss spm, China, US are also participating. Look up their website ipma.ch.
And the EU also has PM2 including certifications.

Interesting. I thought Prince2 was the only recognized certification in the UK. Will definitely check out the PM2.
Aaron and Thomas made valid points. Saving Changes...

Well, as far as I know, as the UK left the EU, they will probably not 'recognise' or significantly use the EU PM2.
In the UK, Prince2 is marketed alongside MSP, P3O by Axelos, a for profit, and APM, a not-for-profit, offers a list of other certifications, up to ChPP.
In some countries, like Italy, UK and Germany, there are PMI, IPMA certifications, but also national PM standards (Italy UNI, Germany DIN 69901) and sometimes related certifications. The latter is important to recognise PM as a profession in this country by law (as APM did with ChPP).

Very informative response Thomas. This is good to know. When you say national PM standards. Are you referring to both ISO standards and local or federal government laws regarding the project management profession?

Stephen,
ISO is an international standard and has per se no relevance in individual countries. Except when the national standard body explicitly elevates it to a national standard, maybe with modifications.
Example: ISO 21500 elevated to DIN ISO 21500 for Germany, and since we have also the old one DIN 69901, both covering PM, it may be a bit confusing.

Okay, I understand. Thanks for the clear explanation.
