PMI & AACE

Ahmed Sanad Project Director| Siemens Energy Dubai, United Arab Emirates

Hi All,

I need your help in a comparison between PMI & AACE certification accreditation.
I did a small study and compared different institutes and their courses (PMI / AACE).

I filtered PMI-SP (by PMI) and PSP & CEP ( by AACE).

but the cost involved in maintain the certification force me to go for only one certification.
Which one should I choose ? which one is most valuable ?

Please advise.

Thanks & regards

It depends on what you want to advertise about yourself, Ahmed.

If you go with PMI, you are focusing on the project management side, even with the SP certification.

AACE would be focusing on the process areas - cost and schedule management - whether part of a project, initiative or operations.

Project baseline control is tested heavily in the PSP and CertifyCerts has the most realistic scenario questions for this area I've seen.
