Ask Cornelius

Question:
If I passed the PMP exam based on PMBOK4 Edition, Can I take PMP Courses that are based on PMBOK5 to earn PDUs?

Answer:

Yes, that is possible!

If you passed your PMP exam with PMBOK4, then you can take a course for PMBOK5 and earn PDUs for it. Many training companies offer their courses especially for that - we do the same by offering www.pm-prepcast.com/pdu .
