I recently became a member of the Project Management Institute, PMI, and certified as a Project Management Professional, PMP. It was a difficult test, but well worth it. Many employers and clients are requiring this designation or at least seriously favoring it. The information on the exam is very useful and can be applied to all kinds of business situations. It has surely made me a better PM and business person.

I used online training at PMCampus.com to get the required 35 hours of education. The price wasn't too bad and they had the information covered. My only complaint is the poor graphic design and usability if their site and printable materials. Ugly!
