I think it depends where you are and what is valued there. In the UK, the PRINCE2 qualification will open doors, whereas in other parts of the world they often prefer PMP.

 

Experience with Project and Excel is great in terms of the tools needed to do the job, but it doesn't give you the skills needed to do project work. The courses above will give you the knowledge needed, but that may not be enough to break into the projects field.

 

When I was trying to get into project work, I completed the PRINCE2 Practitioner course, but also asked my employers to give me individual projects to work on in order to build up experience, which helped when I applied for a job that was solely focused on project work.

In any project it is important to follow the project guidelines as laid out in the PMP or Prince  foundation theories. Having effective tools like MS Projects to manage the milestones is an added advantage and more professional way of managing the PDCA cycle. Though many cases we see employees using the simple excel to prepare the Gnatt chart and achieve milestones on a very manual method.
