Re: Project+ vs PMP
Comment by kinezo · · Home› Certification Preparation› Other Certifications› Project Management CertificationsPMP is obviously the more desired of the two.

Re: Project+ vs PMP
Comment by rivecj44 · · Home› Certification Preparation› Other Certifications› Project Management CertificationsFirst, do a search for project management jobs and see how many you find that demand a Project+.
