The following is a list of frequently asked questions for a project management professional:
1.
What exactly
are PDUs?
Professional Development Units are abbreviated as PDUs. PDUs are the
units of measurement used in the Continuing Certification Requirements (CCR)
programme to quantify your professional development. One PDU is one hour of
learning or activity.
You can sometimes earn a fraction of a PDU — the smallest unit is 0.25
PDUs for 15 minutes of activity.
2.
Is it still
possible for me to earn Education PDUs the same way I used to?
Yes. Attending PMI R.E.P. classes, attending a PMI congress, and other
events, or self-directed learning are all ways to gain Education PDUs.
3.
Is it
possible to claim PDUs for a single Education activity that covers many areas
of the PMI Talent Triangle?
Yes. PDUs can be claimed for a single Education activity across several
PMI Talent Triangle skill areas (Technical Project Management, Leadership,
Strategic and Business Management). For example, you might claim this Education
activity in the skill areas of Technical Project Management and Leadership if
you read a book that offers content on approaches for project time management
and negotiating with stakeholders.
PDUs can also be earned across certifications.
4.
Can I carry
over my PDUs to the following cycle?
Yes. PDUs earned in the last year of your 3-year certification cycle
that exceed the required total (e.g., 60 for project management professional)
can be applied to the next cycle. PDUs obtained in the first two years of your
cycle are not transferable to subsequent cycles.
5.
When can I
start earning PDUs after I've earned a certification?
As soon as you get a PMI certification, you can begin earning and reporting
PDUs. PDUs for activities conducted before you earned your certification will
not apply to your new certification.
6.
Is there any
documentation required for reporting PDU activities?
To report PDUs and renew your accreditation, you don't need any
supporting documents. You will be directed to submit particular information
about the activity in the PDU claim form when reporting your PDUs through CCRS.
NOTE: PMI recommends you maintain a personal folder for all
PDU-related documentation and keep this documentation for at least 18 months
after your CCR cycle has ended. If you are randomly selected for an audit, you
will need to provide this documentation.
7.
Do I need a
special username or password to use CCRS?
No. You will use the same username and password that you use to access
PMI.org. CCRS uses PMI single sign-on technology, which enables you to log in
only once to gain access to all PMI systems and resources. Single sign-on saves
time and prevents the need to remember a separate username and password to
access CCRS.
