How Many PDUs Required for Maintaining PMP Certification?

SPOTO Club written 3 years ago

Once you would have cleared the PMP exam, you would require keeping your skills up-to-date through the CCR (Continuing Certification Requirements) program for maintaining your PMP credential as well as active certification status. Each PMP certification cycle would be lasting for about three years, during which you would require earning 60 PDUs (Professional Development Units) for renewing your certification at the end of the cycle. Once you would have completed a single process, another new three-year cycle would be beginning. Before discussing how many PDUs require maintaining PMP certification, let’s learn about obtaining the same in a single attempt. SPOTO PMP Exam Dumps would help you out in acquiring the same in a single shot.

There would be two kinds of PDUs you could earn for PMP renewal:

1. Education PDUs
2. Giving Back PDUs

Within these two groups, there would be subcategories, as it is described below.

1. Education PDUs:

Aligned with the PMI Talent Triangle, this category would now require about 60% of the PDUs, with a maximum of 35 PDUs:

• Technical Project Management: a minimum of 8 PDUs should be earned
• Leadership: a minimum of 8 PDUs should be earned
• Strategic and Business Management: a minimum of 8 PDUs should be earned

The remaining PDUs could be earned under any of the three mentioned below in the Giving Back PDUs sections.

2. Giving Back PDUs

The total number of PDUs which the candidates could earn in this category has been reduced now; however, the activities under these categories would be remaining the same:

• Volunteering
• Creating Knowledge
• Working as a Professional

The number of PDUs required to be earned in the Working as a Professional category would have also been reduced.

A maximum of 25 PDUs should be earned under this category:

• Working as a Professional: a maximum of 8 PDUs could be earned under this category
• Volunteering as well as Creating Knowledge: the remaining PDUs could be earned under this category.

With this change, PMPs would be still able for claiming PDUs for all the activities claimable in the past:

• Taking courses from PMI REP’s (registered education providers), universities, or your organization
• Attending educational activities as well as events provided by PMI chapters or other organizations
• Attending a webinar, Reading, or participating in self-directed learning activities
• Creating latest project management knowledge
• Volunteering
• Working as a project practitioner

Recording Your PDU Activities

You would be responsible for recording your PDU activities as they would be occurring. One of the most efficient ways for recording the PDUs is by utilizing the online CCR System. This system would also allow you to search for activities that would award PDUs and view your transcript to confirm that PDUs have been posted.

Now that you have known about how many PDUs require to maintain PMP certification, you must be looking forward to renewing it as soon as possible. If you wish to have more help on this, you should opt for the SPOTO PMP Exam Dumps.
