🇺🇸💁‍♀️ here. Is PMP certification valued in the UK? I will be moving to London for a few years and would like to get PMP beforehand. I’ve read that PRINCE2 is the standard in the UK, but it’s really not well known in the US, where I will eventually return

It isn’t but really I don’t think anyone here cares about PM certifications. I know some people have Prince2 but people don’t throw it around like PMPs do in the states.

People don't seem to care about certifications in the UK outside ones which are mandated by detached senior policy.

It's very much a "oh great... moving on ..."
