If we are speaking about professional certification, i would say experience then the certification, because certification is about theoretical knowledge you may have the knowledge but you don't know how to apply it practically.That's why all professional certificates require an experience to obtain them.

there is no substitute for what you learn by doing - experience all the way supplemented by training

You need PM experience (at least 2 years) before certification.
