On March 1, 2011, PMI will be implementing changes to the structure and categories for PDU’s. The changes will impact all individuals who currently hold an active PMP ®, PgMP ®, PMI-RMP ®, and / or PMI-SP ® credential. Some of the highlights of the changes are:
· The Continuing Certification Requirements (CCR) category structure will be simplified by reducing the number of categories from 18 to 6
· All categories will use the rule that one hour of learning activity is equivalent to one PDU
· Expanding the categories to include Web 2.0 learning opportunities
· Adding limits on certain categories to require that all credential holders pursue project management continuing education as part of maintaining their credential
· All current PDUs will remain valid!
The PDF file listing all of the changes can be downloaded from the pmi.org site at:http://www.pmi.org/GLOBALS/~/media/Files/PDF/Certification/PDU%20CategStructure_Final.ashx
To obtain your current PDU status, please access the PMI National website, log in and then click on "View PDU's" under "Certification Status" on the left side of the page. You will then have to log into that portion of the site with your PMI Number and PMP Certification number to see your PDU status.
