This is the subject of my paper Should you certify your schedulers? for the Construction CPM conference next January.  For a pre-view see: http://www.mosaicprojects.com.au/Resources_Papers_149.html      In my view:

The AACEi PSP is primarily aimed at forensic scheduling experts with 8 years experience.

The PMI-SP is primarily aimed at planning managers with 5 years experience.

New certifications from Planning Planet and CIOB are focused on career development for planners and schedulers.

The PMI-SP exam specification covers a very wide range of topics, it is really focused on the manager of scheduling (eg, a PMO Manager).  You do need the books described, you also need a good appreciation of schedule calculations (by hand); you also need to have covered off risk, cost, EV, communication, Scope, WBS and a range of other subjects.

Dear Khaja,

 

Congratulations. I am considering to take this PMI-SP exam too. Could you please share with me on some points:

1. Have you got any benefits from obtaining the PMI-SP certificate? Does it put you on a higher level of career?

2. How PMI-SP compare to PSP from AACE? which one do you think it is better?

3 How difficult to pass the exam? how long do you need to prepare? and how many years of experience do you think it is good enough to pass the exam?

4. Anything esle that you would like to share with us

 

Looking forward to hearing from you soon. Thank you very much in advance.

Dear Sharief,



The books are PMI publications that are available at their web site.



I have not taken the exam yet. Unfortunately I can not give you more detailed information in this area.



Best Regards,
