I received my CPS in 1996.  The one huge advantage to holding a CPS is, if you haven't started your college education yet, you can receive up to I think it is 29 or 30 college credits toward a degree just for passing that one test.



This would be an important tidbit of information for those of you that have college-bound children headed into the business area of studies.  The only drawback is you have to have a certain number of years and level of experience before you are eligible to take the test.



It may or may not make a huge difference in your employment situation, but it looks good under "Professional Organizations" on your resume.  I too, used the Metcalfe books to study for the test and they were extremely informative and helpful.
