All the certifications offered by Project Management Institute (PMI) are continuous and demand regular growth. Professional Development Units (PDUs) are the part of Continuing Certification Requirements (CCR) of PMI. PDUs are what you need to maintain your project management certification. One hour of project management training is equal to one PDU. The different number of Professional Development Units are required to qualify and maintain different Project Management certifications. There are several PMI certifications like PMP, PMI-ACP, PMI-RMP, CAPM, PMI-PBA, and PRINCE2. You can check out PMI website to know the exact number of PDUs required for a particular certification.

Excellent post. I used to be checking constantly this weblog and I am impressed!
Very helpful info specifically the closing phase 🙂 I deal with such info a lot.
I was seeking this particular info for a very lengthy time.
Thanks and best of luck.
How do you submit PDUs if you attend a class from an non-REP organization? I believe it’s Category B: Continued Education but I can’t see in your screenshots above which section this would fall under.
