Ask Cornelius |
What a surprise! For the first time since we have launched The PDU Insider newsletter we did not receive a question from our readers (You) about PDUs.
This could mean one of two things:
1. We have explained EVERYTHING there is to explain about PDUs and you don't have any questions any more
2. Everyone's email was broken for the last 3 weeks and you could not send us your questions
But seriously... please let us know any and all questions that you may have about PDUs and we will be happy to answer them here.
Until next time,
Cornelius Fichtner, PMP

| PDU Tip: Everything about PDU Category A |
As the holder of a Project Management Institute
(PMI) credential (except CAPM) you are required to earn a specified
number of Professional Development Units (PDUs) to maintain that
credential.
We begin with PMI PDU Category A, "Courses offered by PMIs R.E.P.s
or Chapters and Communities," which is one of the three "Educational
Categories."
PDU Category A covers any professional development training
gained through one of PMI's Registered Education Providers (R.E.P.s).
R.E.P.s can be identified by their PMI R.E.P. logo and can include
schools, accredited consultants or training programs, and PMI chapters.
R.E.P. accreditation can be confirmed by searching the PMI database.
