i only took the CKM course. It was Instructor led, by the founder, and was 5 days. There is an online exam to complete after completion of the course. The exam I took was 50 questions in 60 minutes (although when I took it, had 50 minutes)
It does look like know there is an e-learning option, however, for something like KM, a significant benefit, is being there with the instructor and other students. The networking and what you are able to learn from the others is invaluable.
I cannot speak to the others, but provided links to all three. There also is Master classes now, but have not looked further into it. Saving Changes...
In what way do you believe this will add value to me as an individual and to my career advancement
Mudassar,
It's not an easy question to answer. But I believe the more you study what you do for a living - the better job you'll do of it. Having a certification doesn't mean you're an expert. It means you thought enough of the disicipline to study and master, at least the basic concepts.
It having a certification a sure thing to a great PM job? NO Does not having a certification hurt you? IT DEPENDS.
I know of places that only hire PMPs to be project managers.
For me, the bottom line is it's what is between your ears that counts (your brain!) Saving Changes...
