That gets to my 2nd bullet point, be sure you know where you want to work and find out what's important there. If a particular company is a part of your plan like your current company you can get very specific. Your company may not think much of PMI or Prince2, etc. Perhaps they have their own standards. If so, they probably have internal training available on that standard you should go after. Thanks for the comment Karine!

However, they tend to be regional (PMI in North America, Prince in Europe) and industry based (Agile methods are more frequent in software development projects). Hence, it's a good idea to study the method(s) that fit both the industry we want to work in, and the place where we want to work. Josh,
