PDU Categories and Structure Update |
As per PMI's Continuing Certification Requirements (CCR), every PMP needs to re-certify his/her credentials every 3 years. In order to re-certify, a PMP needs to earn 60 Professional Development Units (PDUs) every 3 years.
PMI has announced that as of March 1, 2011 the PDU categories will be changed. The changes are to simplify the process. They are significant and should be understood by all PMPs. The restructuring has reduced the number of PDU categories from 18 to six. The six new categories will be grouped under two divisions: Education and Giving Back to the Profession. From that point onward PMP certified project managers claiming PDUs need to claim the PDUs they earn according to this new structure.
In this episode in titled "The PM Podcast Episode 204: The "New" PDU Categories and Structure", Rory McCorkle will discuss the new structure of the PDU Categories.
