Education PDUs

Main wikipage: Education PDU]]

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.

Giving-Back PDUs

Activities that enable you to share and apply your knowledge and skills as a means to contribute to and help build the profession.

Work as a Practitioner

Working in a profession related to your certification. The number of PDUs claimed once per cycle should be generally equivalent to the amount of time you were actively working within the profession. For example:
  • If you were actively working within the profession for the entire 3 years of your certification cycle, the maximum allowable PDU value can be claimed (8 for PMP, PgMP, PfMP, and PMI-PBA; 4 for PMI-ACP, PMI-RMP, PMI-SP)
  • If you were actively working within the profession for half of your certification cycle, half of the maximum allowable PDU value can be claimed (4 for PMP, PgMP, PfMP, and PMI-PBA; 2 for PMI-ACP, PMI-RMP, PMI-SP)

Create Content

Authoring books or articles, creating webinars. Activities that enable you to share and apply your knowledge and skills as a means to contribute to and help build the profession. Some examples include:
  • Writing books, articles, white papers, or blogs
  • Creating webinars or presentations

Give a Presentation

Preparing for and speaking or presenting. Activities include presentations you delivered at a PMI chapter event, other professional conference, or internally at your organization, which relate to your certification.

Share Knowledge

Serving as a moderator, SME, or mentor. Activities in which you shared project management knowledge with others through serving as a mentor, teacher, coach, or simply applied your subject matter expertise.

Volunteer

Volunteering without compensation. Activity that relates to your certification and contributes to advancing knowledge or practice within the profession.

Reporting PDUs

You are responsible for recording your PDU activities as they occur. The most efficient way to record PDUs is by using CCRS. You must record your PDUs and complete the renewal process before your CCR cycle ends to maintain an active certification status. If you do not earn and record the required PDUs within your CCR cycle, your certification will be suspended. Refer to the Certification Statussection of this handbook for more details.

CCRS

The Continuing Certification Requirements System (CCRS) is an online tool to guide you through the CCR process. CCRS can be accessed here. In CCRS you may do the following:Understand where you are in your certification cycle Track your progress against CCR requirementsSearch activities (e.g. courses or events) that award PDUsReport PDUs as you earn themCheck your PDU transcript

PMI Audit Process

As the recipient of a PMI certification, you have agreed to comply with its terms of use, including adherence to the terms of the audit process. The terms of the audit process provide that all certification holders are subject to an audit. In the event of an audit, you will be permitted to renew your certification only after you successfully complete the audit and meet all the terms of the audit.A percentage of certification holders will be randomly selected for PMI’s audit process. If you are selected for an audit, you will be asked to submit supporting material to verify any PDUs submitted. Therefore, it is important to keep documentation for all PDU claims for at least 18 months after the CCR cycle has ended.
