Has anyone been to Deloitte's PMP Boot Camp? Do they provide enough material to pass the exam, or do you still need to buy a book to study?

Anyone here has taken the PMP certification ? Is it worth it over MBA and if you're managing projects in Advisory?

Thoughts on 1 year MBA versus a 2 year program???

Hi all! Looking for some advice please!
I am looking to stir my career into a Project Management role. I have some work experience in managing IT Projects but don't have the title. Is working towards a PMP Certificate worth investing time and money in worth it or should I just apply for a PM role?
Thank you in advance!

Hello Everyone,

I am currently learning Google Project Management Professional certificate course to pivot into PMO.

I would request all the readers, if they can refer me or assist me in career pivot , I will be highly obliged and really appreciate your help.

Which certification will look better on a CV, a CSPO or a SAFe Product Owner/Product Manager?

Are there any good PM certification that’s worthwhile? Not something that’s on Udemy for 2 hours of coursework.
Most “certifications” I’ve seen seem a bit superficial… but my current PM job feels like a glorified project manager role so I was hoping to use my extra time to study/earn a certificate to show my skill. If possible.

I have been looking at the curriculums for Harvard Business School's Master of Business Administration and Harvard Extension School's Master's in Management.

If I am not able to gain admission to Harvard Business School, but wanted a similar educational experience to become a consultant, should I attend Harvard Extension?
