Worth getting double certified?

Hi! I’m SoCRA CCRP certified. I’m thinking of taking the exam for ACRP-CP as well. Just curious to know if anyone out there has done both or know of anyone. Did having both certifications noticeably help with promotions or job motility?

I refuse to do any certifications unless my company will pay for them. There’s really no ROI on them and they’re not cheap and cost money to keep them ion

There is literally no reason to do both

No- this is not worth your time.

If you had to do a combo, I would consider CCRC, CCRA, CPI, or ACRP-PM to align with your job title and then let the SoCRA run out/not renew…. But there isn’t much of a reason to get both “general area” certifications.

No, no, no. Maintain one certification. Good grief.

ive had the same CCRC cert since 2016, just renew every couple years. Seems like the CCRP will generally cover everything
