Congratulations on your hard work and earning your PMI certification!

Now that you are a credential holder, you are expected to adhere to PMI’s Continuing Certification Requirements (CCR) program to earn Professional Development Units (PDUs) to maintain your PMI credential.

In fact all PMI credentials (PMP, PgMP, PMI-SP, PMI-RMP) require a specific amount of PDUs per 3-year certification cycle. Those requirements might be different for each credential, so visit PMI web site to find out more.

PMP Credential Requirements

After passing the PMP Exam, certified Project Managers must demonstrate commitment to the profession by accumulating 60 PDUs over a 3-year period.

As we said, PDU stands for "Professional Development Unit". Technically PDU and "Contact Hour" are NOT the same! Here is the difference:

- You need Contact Hours before you apply for the PMP Exam

- You need PDUs after you pass the PMP Exam, to keep your PMP status

We offer several PMI-approved online courses, specifically geared towards project managers, which can account for earning your PDUs at the lowest cost. All our PDU Courses have an online assessment test and will provide you with a PDU Certificate. These courses have been created by Skillsoft, a Registered Education Provider (REP) of the Project Management Institute (PMI), which means you can print your certificate and present it to PMI to earn your PDUs and to keep your PMP status.
