Project managers are in high demand and organisations are willing to play for qualified talent. In today's fast-paced business world, having a Project Management Professional (PMP) certification comes with significant advantages over other job candidates. Across Asia Pacific, employees who hold Project Management Professional (PMP) certification have reported earning 13% higher median salaries than those without, with portfolio managers and project management consultants in Singapore being in the top ten of the highest paid globally. This makes expertise and certification in the field of project management particularly important.
