If you are having trouble justifying the time and cost necessary to become certified, here are a few points straight from ACMP.

Certification validates a discipline and demonstrates the maturity of a profession. Before the PMP certification for project management became popular, people thought anyone could manage a project, and doing so was common sense. And while there are many ways of managing projects successfully, certification ensures the best ways are known by those responsible for doing so.

Because certification confirms an understanding of a common body of knowledge. This will reduce the time it takes to find and train someone because everyone certified already knows the best way of how to do something. Many certifications, such as the CCMP, also confirm experience. It's a way of ensuring someone didn't just learn a few buzzwords and doesn't know how to actually do the job.

Certification enhances an individual's and an organization's reputation. Any time you get to add letters after your name on your resume, you increase your value, and when an organization adds certifications, it increases overall knowledge held by its employees and reduces the risk of doing something the wrong way, thereby causing schedule delays and cost overruns.

While a certificate provided at the end of a course shows the completion of training, certification shows a deep understanding and retention of the material and proves it with a third‑party proctored exam. Any person or for‑profit organization can provide a certificate. The ACMP, though, is nonprofit, which eliminates the monetary motivation to get as many people certified as quickly as possible.
