That’s awesome that you’re considering the CAP exam! I’m sure there are others here who’ve taken it and can share their experiences. I’d love to hear how it’s impacted their careers too! Any advice on how to approach the studying process would be super helpful.

I didn't do CAP, but I did do PACE. It didn't make any difference for prospective employers or my current one, but I do like the opportunity to learn. Sadly with PACE I felt it was almost all things I already knew and not worth it for me. Some have gotten more pay with certifications though so it is a possibility. I found doing the CAPM (PMP next) was more valuable.

Thoughts?
