One question we get asked a lot at Learning People is whether the project management certifications we offer are valid internationally.
In this article, we’ll answer some of the questions we get asked about our certifications and give you an insight into which project management certifications are valid in Australia, as well as other countries.

Will your certifications help me get into project management?

According to the US-based Project Management Institute (PMI), 25 million new project professionals will be needed across industries globally by 2030.

Another study predicts that there will be 90 million project management roles that need to be filled by 2027, in areas including programme management, scheduling, and business analytics. The Australian Institute of Project Management even believes that we’re in a “fourth industrial revolution” brought on by the “digital megatrend”, which will see opportunities for project managers vastly increase. 

Clearly, there’s something of a boom going on at the moment – so getting formal project management training in this area is a good idea if it’s an industry you’re considering pursuing.

Should managers be investing in project management training for their staff?

The long-term ROI of investing in training for staff members can’t be argued with – and investing in an internationally-recognised project management certification is a great place to start, especially if you’re considering sending staff members to work abroad in satellite offices.

Small and large businesses should be considering online staff training. By upskilling your employees in project management, you can increase your bottom line and increase your staff retention which will only make you more successful as a company. 

Should employees request project management training from their organisations?

If you’re an employee, you have every right to ask your manager for training that will allow you to upskill and contribute more to the team and the business. If you’re ambitious and can make a good business case, consider whether a certification in project management might be something that could enhance your career and will contribute efficiently to your workplace. There are many benefits of staff taking training courses and it is a win for both you and the company you work for.
