    To give my point of view: When I'm looking for a planner or a scheduler any certificate would be a positive item. It shows that a candidate learnt the theory as has some interest.

    IPMA is, as far as I know, focussed on German speaking countries + Benelux and France. It is a four level certificate from D (Assistant to PM) to A (Program Manager). There is no certificate for planning.

    All companies have their own principles that you'll have to learn.

    More important is your experience and if your personality would probably fit into the team.

    Good luck for your career!
