Obtaining PDUs

PM College awards Professional Development Units (PDUs) for all of its curriculum of courses. The number of PDUs earned for each PM College course is identified as part of the course description.

What is a PDU?

PMI REPThe Professional Development Unit (PDU) is the measuring unit used by the Project Management Institute, Inc. (PMI)® to quantify approved learning and professional service activities. Typically, one PDU is earned for every one hour spent in a planned, structured learning experience or activity. PM College is recognized as a chartered global Registered Education Provider (R.E.P.)® #1020 for PMI and is thus able to award PDUs for its programs. Each Project Management Professional (PMP)® must satisfy the PMP Professional Development Program requirements in order to maintain their PMP certification. Project Management Professionals are required to attain no less than 60 Professional Development Units within a three-year cycle.

Earning PDUs

Once a participant has successfully completed the course (and associated course exams if applicable), they will earn the PDUs associated with that course and will receive a certificate of completion endorsed by PM College. In all courses, participants must attend the entire program to receive a completion certificate and PDUs.

Recording PDUs

PDUs
PM College maintains permanent PDU records for all participants as required by PMI for auditing purposes. However, it is the individual participant’s responsibility to record PDUs towards their PMP recertification as earned from attending a PM College course.
