Hi Sam,

thanks for posting!

This is a good question - MSP, which stands for Managing Successful Programmes, is definitely a recognised project management certification that employers will appreciate. You can find a number of different training companies offering the qualification here. A lot of them also have reviews so you can see what other participants thought of the different courses offered.

But there are other well-known qualifications, based on different project management approaches, that can help you progress in the sector, including:

PRINCE2 (Projects IN Controlled Environments)
PMP (Project Management Professional)
APM (Agile Project Management)

Agile is becoming more and more popular since it tends to be the most flexible approach, but all three are still widely used and recognised. I would suggest that you read up on these different methods a bit more to see which one seems like it could appeal to you most.

May I ask if you have already started in a Project Management role, or if you are looking to gain a PM certification in order to make a career move?

Best regards,
