Hi everyone,

I am looking for some in insight. I am currently and have been in the healthcare field for most of my career.

CAPM or PMP are the two most recognized Project Manager certifications through PMI (Project Management Institute). Both require specific amounts of "training hours" as well as "work experience hours" to qualify you for the exam. While a Google certificate on your resume will indicate learning, I don't know how far it will get you in the employment search. As you look through listings, you will typically see PMP as a requirement, as well as "x" years experience. (Yeah, I know, how do you get experience if no one will hire you without it??).
