  • Continuing education requirements keep you paying after you pass. Most certifications require 20-40 hours of CE every 2-3 years at $200-$600.
  • Some certifications require supervised experience hours. Check prerequisites before you start studying. PMP needs 4,500 project hours. CPA needs 150 credit hours.
