Great news! I read the introductions to some of the accreditations and found that the theory was about 546353737 miles away from reality but I was prepared to suck it up if necessary and try not to

What a relief!

Not valued one bit in contracting land

Experience only thing that counts

Ditto the above and I would also check what's being asked for in role specs as sometimes they will say "xyz certified" or some such.

99.9% of companies don’t know Product Management certifications exist.

Solid experience is what’s valued in this area. Push that in your CV and only consider certification if/when clients and agents start asking for them.

New to contracting - advice on Product Management accreditations

Hello CUK,

I am a contractor newbie (6months in). I have 16yrs digital product management/design experience client and agency side but no formal 'accreditations' (just battle scars). Can I get some advice from anyone that has experience with product management accreditations? Are they seen as valuable in the contracting world? If so, which are the most recognised?

I have seen AIPMM do some, but Google is littered with other providers too...
