Professional Development Units, PDUs

 

Earning a PMI certification is an important achievement. Maintaining it is part of your continued professional development.

 

PMI’s Continuing Certification Requirements, CCR, program helps certification holders keep their knowledge current, strengthen their skills, and stay active in the project management profession. To renew a PMP® certification, certification holders must earn 60 Professional Development Units, PDUs, within a three-year certification cycle.

 

PDUs can be earned through two main categories: Education and Giving Back to the Profession.

Education PDUs support your learning and professional growth. They may come from activities such as attending courses, webinars, chapter events, conferences, or other learning opportunities related to project management. Education PDUs are aligned with the PMI Talent Triangle: Ways of Working, Power Skills, and Business Acumen.

Giving Back PDUs recognize the value of contributing to the profession. These may include activities such as sharing knowledge, creating content, giving presentations, mentoring others, volunteering, or applying project management expertise in professional work.

 

For PMP® certification renewal, PMI requires a minimum of 35 Education PDUs and allows a maximum of 25 Giving Back PDUs during each three-year cycle.

 

PMI Denmark Chapter supports members by offering events, webinars, networking activities, and knowledge-sharing opportunities where eligible PDUs may be earned. Members are responsible for reporting and managing their PDUs through PMI’s Continuing Certification Renewal System, CCRS.

By earning and reporting PDUs regularly, certification holders stay connected to the profession, continue developing their skills, and maintain the value of their PMI certification.
