PDU Information

If you hold the PMP^®, PgMP^®, PMI-SP^® and/or PMI-RMP^® credential, review this information to see how you can earn professional development units at PMI’s global congress toward maintaining your PMI credential.

Maintain Your Credential
PMI’s Continuing Certification Requirements (CCR) program supports the ongoing professional development of PMI credential holders.

To meet the requirements of the CCR program, you participate in activities that earn you professional development units (PDUs). PDUs are measuring units that quantify approved learning and professional development activities.

To be eligible for PDUs, the activity must be related to project management topics that are substantially consistent with the knowledge areas and processes outlined in A Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK^® Guide).

Earn PDUs at PMI Global Congresses
Many activities, seminars and presentations held at, or in conjunction with, PMI’s global congress qualify for PDUs. These include:

• PMI Leadership Institute Meeting activities
• PMI Research Program Working Session
• PMI Standards Program Working Session
• the congress keynote speaker
• Congress Areas of Focus presentations
• and certain other congress activities

Exact PDU assignments for each eligible activity will be listed on the PDU worksheet that attendees may obtain on site.

You will still be responsible for reporting your PDUs to PMI. You can report your PDUs online, or by using the CCR Activity Reporting Form.

You can find out more about PDUs in the CCR section of your respective credential handbook.
