PMP (which is a PMI certification 😑) if you have the Years of experience. The exam itself is a breeze if you actually do PMO work; otherwise I hear it's a bitch.
MBA
If you're in the federal space, definitely PMP. It's usually written as a requirement into a lot of contracts. If you're commercial, probably six sigma.
I can do basic Python, VBA and SQL scripting (also googling for answers). Can confirm, client/manager lose their s***
I've heard that these certifications are good to get 100k jobs, but not much more. So basically if you are already at a state higher, then no need. I will say though when I see someone with a PMP and they are trying to do something non PMO, I run far away
Coding
Definitely coding

Coding as in hands on engineer ?
Auto update spreadsheets, decks, and docs as needed, for starters. For instance, a friend in PMO was having to update 100+ team members schedules individually because they weren't allowed to use Google docs (or any other cloud based spreadsheet). I helped her write a program so anytime she received a schedule from a member, she would run the program and python would scan the doc, pull the information and place it in the proper column regardless of the formatting. Cut the time it took her to send her weekly calendar out by about 80%.

Six sigma is an art the youngsters don't get like me. I knew I should have paid attention to my mother whenever she spoke about it!
No... but listing programming languages implies, among many other things, analytical and problem solving skills. Additionally, with a language like Python, you can automate a ton of the bullshit PMO work and impress the F out of a client/manager
But honestly you can get really creative depending on the tasks you have. Python can be used to automate just about anything done on a computer.
Good to know d2 thanks!
Yea, I heard it is too

What PMO can you automate with Python?
