Free Project Management Certifications

You don't need to pay for a PMP to prove you can run a project. These are real, currently-free certifications and training programs — from career certificates to entry-level Agile and Six Sigma credentials — each one checked and worth your time.

Project management is one of the most transferable skills in any career — every team ships work, and someone has to keep it on track. The full PMP is expensive and needs experience hours, but the fundamentals (Agile, Scrum, Lean, Six Sigma) have genuinely free on-ramps. Start with a career certificate to learn the craft, then pick up an entry-level credential to put on your résumé.
