What is the difference between PK0-005 (Project+) and PMP? Which should I get?

CompTIA PK0-005 CompTIA Project+ Certification (2026)

Both are valid project management certifications, but they serve different career stages. Project+ is ideal for IT professionals newer to project management, while PMP is the gold standard for those with considerable hands-on experience. Project+ has no formal prerequisites. PMP, on the other hand, requires 36 months of leading projects with a four-year degree, plus 35 hours of formal training . Career-wise, most IT professionals use Project+ to build foundational knowledge and accumulate the experience PMP demands, then make the move when ready. Project+ can be used as a direct stepping stone toward PMP certification. 

Where are you in your project management journey - still building experience, or already eyeing PMP?
