I agree with most of what you say and in my last post I mentioned that the PE has the EIT as its entry level cert. PMI also has an entry level cert as the PMP is not meant to be that, it is the CAPM (

we are in agreement Patrick, I tend to try to use few words and I agreed with the discussion on the body of knowledge but just thought the point was being missed that you don't certify anyone to how w

Hi Robert, I really like what you're saying but I was a bit surprised to see you singling out World Cafés. Can you expand a bit on why you see this as essential? Cheers, Stephen. =====================

I've done the PMP, CISSP, CSSLP and am a PE and PhD. I haven't seen anything saying this cert has value so I wasn't thinking of doing it. I would love to also hear from those who do have it or say it
