I put my Prince2 re-cert through my limited. I did look at PMP/PMI but none of the roles I was looking at required this on top of Prince2 (I have MSP already).
If your question is something else ... can you elaborate?I am what I drink, and I'm a bitter man -
Are you referring to expensing the cost of the certificate? Some prep course? Or something else?
Or are you referring to putting down your Ltd as your experience? You just list the projects you managed and put down the client as the contact. It's unlikely it'll get audited and they'll be contacted but still be as honest as you can when filling it out.Comment

If you're a developer who leads teams and hence 'PM's' their area then it's OK. If however you're on a help desk but want to train to be a PM and sell those skills in the future then HMRC would argue this is a new skill.
To be honest though, HMRC are very unlikely to check up and so long as the costs are low compared to revenue and your accountant is happy then no one is really going to know.I am what I drink, and I'm a bitter manComment

Ohh in 20 years in project management I’ve never heard
Let’s get the PM with PMP or Prince they will be better
Like an MBA or PHD in contracting - useless
