Professional Body Membership - APM

[TheArchitect]

Hi Guys,

Is it a worthwhile thing to have on your CV some form of accreditation/professional body membership? I was an associate of CIAT for a few years when I was working as an Architectural Technician but now I've moved into project management it looks like I'll be starting from scratch. Do employers rate it? Its not cheap to work through the courses.

I have emailed APM asking for advice on where to start and routes available to progress my membership.

Thanks
