I read about PSP certification in forum. Recently I started to get ready for PSP exam because I am planning to immigrate to USA (Houston) and I thought maybe a good international certificate help me to find a better job(Am I right?) for your information I am  a senior planner in middle east with 9 years of experience.
 
As you know the only material list that is available is the one in AACE site. It contains 6 books and 3000+ pages. 
I just finished AACE’s Skills & Knowledge of Cost Engineering but I don't know is that enough? because it is a very detailed book and it's hard to memories line by line. and even if i memorize all 6 books cover to cover would that be enough? or there is other materials needed to pass that exam.
Your help is very appreciated.

The numbers of accredited PSP or PMI-SP practitioners are relatively low around 1000 for each.

PSP is of most use in proving you are a qualified expert to give evidence in USA constructions claims. 

PMI-SP is of most use if you are looking to move into controls management.

Both have quite rigorous requirements and being qualified is starting to become valuable in the job market.

Hi Rolando / Mukund,



There are two such courses in the market and in demand.



a. PSP from AACEI

b. PMI-SP from PMI



These days people do ask about this certification and it really helps.



People have advised that PMI-SP is very well structured than PSP (AACEI).



Check the contents on their websites. (www.pmi.org / www.aacei.org)



Cheers,
