PDU is the acronym for professional development unit, which is a credit toward re-certification at Project Management Institute (PMI®).


Education PDUs

Learning activities that allow you to broaden your knowledge in one of the PMI Talent Triangle skill areas: Technical, Leadership, or Strategic and Business Management.

PDU Claim Code

PMI, R.E.P. or Chapter provided 10 digit code. The PDU Claim code is a new feature that will allow you to more easily claim PDUs from a PMI approved education provider. A PDU claim code can be issued by any PMI approved education provider including PMI, R.E.P.s, PMI chapters, and the PMI Global Accreditation Council.
The PDU claim code will be a 10 digit alpha-numeric value unique to each course (example: 200068JJYM). The PDU claim code can also end in a '-S' if you attended an event.
If you do not have a PDU Claim Code you can still claim PDUs by selecting one of the education categories below and entering the provider and activity information.
