Genuine feedback needed on PMI-CPMAI exam and course content

Hi everyone,

Looking for honest feedback on the PMI-CPMAI certification — specifically around the exam and learning content quality.

A bit about me: I am a senior professional who started my career in mainframe and later transitioned into data science. I have been working as a data scientist for about 5 years now. I have not formally led a team but have independently managed my deliverables end to end from problem definition to deployment on few projects.

I am now looking to move into a data science or AI manager role and PMI-CPMAI looks relevant for that transition.

A few specific questions: Is the learning content practical and useful or just theoretical? How difficult is the exam if you already have a some DS or AI background? Does the certification actually add value or is it just a badge?

Appreciate any genuine feedbac
