Project management - APM, Prince or Agile?
Discussion
I've been a project manager in industry since 1996, I did do a Prince2 foundation about 13 or 14 years ago, but no further qualifications since.
My current role is being made redundant at the end of March 2017, looking at PM jobs advertised, I see a lot asking for a formal practitioner level qualification.
Which would you go for? APM? Prince2? Agile?
Why?

It depends on what kind of methodology you are experienced in. If you are used to a reasonable approximation of Prince then getting the practitioner cert will be straightforward and get you through a lot of CV filters. Agile is becoming more and more popular but as always you need experience in it. APM is very useful as a way of improving your knowledge, better than Prince, but not quite so well recognised as a qualification.
Also depends on what field you're working in.
Software and technology fields have now largely migrated to AGILE (although various disciplines within - SAFE / dsdm etc) although it is often (in my experience) bastardised to cover all manner of sins!
Why isn't x,y,z done. We're AGILE!
Tbh I think the traditional waterfall stuff has largely had its day.
