I found it hard to fit into taking the class while delivering work. Curious to understand others perspective on its value?

D1 said it. It's useful if you want to do PMO stuff.

Considered getting it (probably still could tbh) but decided my interests were elsewhere

Tedious but valuable

Just got mine. It’s valuable, but you definitely need to dedicate a decent amount of time studying..

Looks good on paper, totally useless in real life. If you do it, do the week-long boot camp through Deloitte and take the test ASAP after. I hardly studied and passed....then promptly empties my brain from all that useless knowledge 🙃
