PMP is a generic certification which is widely accepted across the world. PRINCE2 is another PM related certification but it is more appropriate for UK and other markets. 

Any certification you do after PMP has to be related to your job or your future career aspiration. There is no road map or path available 

If you are in risk managment profession go for RMP

If you are in Agile go for ACP and so on.

Only if you see a value go for other certifications. If you are interested in studing you better do an executive MBA , that may be better for your long term career.

Hi Asif,

I would suggest you to go for PRINCE2 Practitioner Certification. It could be better to your career.

Thanks Poonam, Both PMP and PRINCE 2 are considered equivalent as per my knowledge, Please correct me if I am mistaken.

In that case, would it be worth doing PRINCE 2 after PMP?

Will be waiting for your kind response.

Hi,

There are two levels in PRINCE2

1) PRINCE2 Foundation And 2) PRINCE2 Practioner

As you said PRINCE2 Foundation is equivalent to PMP but PRINCE2 Practioner is quite different actually.

For PRINCE2 Practioner the prerequisites are either PMP or PRINCE2 Foundation.

I recommend to get Agile CSM certification.You will be able to do waterfall and agile methods. Most organizations do a hybrid of both.
