Are u currently working or you want to take the exam to enhance your employment ability? If working, good, but I don't have any place to recommend. For the latter, it does not worth it. Think of something else.

I am planning to write one. What do you mean when you said that If s/he
isn't working shouldn't go for it?

If you're working and you take it, your firm 'may' give you 'more' role in project team to contribute your 'knowledge' which earn you experience and qualifies you to take PMP (if you wish). More so, you will have financial absorber to re-take the exam when it expires.

If you're not working, the fact is, you may not get employed before the stuff expires, and the moment it does, you can not refer to it again except you retake it.

Opinion: if you must take exam, why not take permanent professional one, get a job and if you still love PM, do the needful. Or take up a volunteering job in PM if you so love the field, that experience is far resounding than CAPM.

OK!!! If i understand u, u are against certificates dat expires or irrelevant and not advising against taking professional course/exams.

I wrote a project management exam during my service year wit IPMP and d certificate titled Certified Project Manager. I also did NIM. Since then it add nothing to my CV, present job (call center agent) or employability. I see it as a waste of resources.

Recently, I have bin on a cross-road wit my present job & i need a better job. Have re-written my CV severally yet d jobs ain't coming. I have thought of doing a professional course & i am considering CISCO or any course in Human Resources. The probability of duin CISCO is low considering dat i don't have IT background but HR may take high probability cos i studied Coop. Econs & Mgt.
