Does Six Sigma Training Count as PDUs?

Published: Fri, 10/18/13

Ask Cornelius

Question: I got PMP certified in 2011 and been earning PDUs from participating in training sessions but I also took a LSSBB training (classroom and online) which amounts to about 40 hours, can I include this as part of my CCR PDUs?

Answer: Your training for Lean Six Sigma Black Belt should qualify for PDUs. It may not qualify 100% but some parts of it will. There are two ways to identify how many PDUs you will earn.

Option 1: Ask your training provider
Option 2: Calculate it yourself
