I can imagine how frustrating that must be. It's tough when you're eager to contribute and it feels like you're not being heard. Hang in there, and maybe keep looking for the right moment to showcase your skills. Persistence often pays off.

Is it possible for you to share it with their boss or someone who’s close enough? You can probably get their attention which will then force your boss to acknowledge you

I'm two thirds through the PMA Core Certification, and the info is great but the tests are a joke. They need to contract with an educator that specializes in testing and assessment to come in and develop exams that actually measure if you know the material. The bad test design devalues the certification. Not to zero, but I definitely will not be proud to have earned it. It just means I had $1300 and sat through 15 hours of video lectures.
