INFORMATION ON PMI-PDUs

There are more than 1 million, i.e., 10 lakhs active PMP certified professionals across the world. Further, there are around 1 lakh other professional certified professionals in the sphere of Disciplined Agile, PgMP (Program Management), PfMP (Portfolio Management), PMI-ACP, PMI-RP, PMI-SP professionals.
Project Management Institute (PMI®) recognizes that the certifications are a great testimony for understanding the project management knowledge and also that the knowledge is a reflection of changing times and therefore, changing practices. This knowledge needs to refurbished to be relevant and therefore, active certified holders should keep on gaining this knowledge and contributing this knowledge. READ MORE >>
PMI® has enabled this gaining and contributing of knowledge and keep your certification active by a concept called Professional Development Units (PDU). Professional Development Units (PDUs) are one-hour points or blocks of time that you invest in learning, teaching others, or volunteering. By accumulating and tracking these over your certification cycle you can maintain your certification status with PMI. PMI® has stated that as a certification holder, you can earn PDUs or points to keep your certification relevant. These PDUs can be earned by various means and are the most easiest to do after you have hard earned your certification. You would agree that earning the certification is one of the difficult tasks to achieve. PDUs (Professional Development Units) are your weapon to maintain your hard earned PMP certification. PDUs  have 2 distinct  categories — Education and Giving Back to the Profession.

  • Education PDUs can be earned at professional seminars, webinars,  or workshops
  • Giving Back PDUs are for time spent volunteering, mentoring, working with professional groups, and more.

Each of the PMI Certifications have different need of PDUs. The below table gives a good idea of how many PDUs do you need for which certification and what is the duration to earn the PDUs and renew it.

Education – Minimum PDUs

Education PDUs can exceed this amount and there is no limit on the number of PDUs that can be earned in education. Giving Back to Profession: The Giving Back PDUs can be maximum depending on the certification you have. You can also have zero Giving Back PDUs and the maximum you can earn Is given in the table below. PMI recognizes that sharing your knowledge and actively applying your skills is a valuable means to contribute to the profession. Additionally, many find that giving back is an enriching learning experience that enhances your professional development in different ways. That is why giving back activities are PDU eligible and incorporated into the CCR program It is important to note that giving back is an optional manner in which to earn PDUs. The giving back requirements listed above are the maximum number of PDUs allowed for each certification in this category. If giving back PDUs are earned, the total cannot exceed the limits listed above.

For PMP, PgMP, PfMP, PMI-PBA , the “Giving Back PDUs” is 25 PDUs max

For PMI-ACP, PMI-RMP, PMI-SP , the “Giving Back PDUs” is 12 PDUs max

Also, one of the frequent questions is can one training or event give you PDUs across Multiple certifications. The answer is Yes – and you can read our other blog -  “How to Maintain Multiple PMI Certifications” READ LESS >>

PROCESS TO REPORT PDUs

You are now familiar on how to earn the PDUs. That was easy, isn’t it?

Now the next step – How to Report on the 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.

The day you pass a PMI certification, e.g., PMP® your CCR cycle begins and is valid for 3 years time.
