...where there are often speakers
covering leadership and strategic topics.
Often conference organizers will flag
which area of the Triangle is covered by
each talk, so you can plan your day to
get the PDUs you need.
Attend PMI Global Congress Events
In the CCRS, online learning falls under
the Education category, and you want to
look for the ‘Online or Digital Media’
category. This is where you should record
your online learning.
CCRS
There is a definite trend towards
earning PDUs online using your mobile
phone or tablet. This is an easy and
cost-effective way to pick up PDU
credits.
Webinars and Podcasts

8. LOOK FOR THE PMI
REGISTERED EDUCATION
PROVIDER LOGO.
Search for courses, podcasts, and
webinars that come from a reliable
source so you can be sure that the
provider is following PMI mandatory
criteria for ensuring quality, and
you will have learning goals and an
assessment of these goals at the
end.
Use a PMI
Registered
Education
Provider

9. As a PMP credential holder, you need a minimum of 8
Technical, 8 Leadership, and 8 Strategic and Business
Management PDUs.
These all fall into the Education category in the CCRS.
Overall, you need a minimum of 35 in the Education
category. Once you have got 8 in each domain, you will have
24 in total, after which you can make up the remaining 11
from any Talent Triangle side. For example, if you take a
one-and-a-half-day long course on project scheduling,
that’s another 12 Technical PDUs that you can claim, and
you hit your target of 35. Or you can earn Strategic PDUs
by being mentored by a leader in your business on general
management techniques, for example.

10. YOU CAN LOOK AT EARNING PMP PDUS LIKE A PROJECT THAT LASTS THREE YEARS. YOU HAVE TO PLAN YOUR
PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITY OVER THAT TIME. IF YOU DON’T, YOU’LL FIND IT DIFFICULT TO TRY TO
SQUASH 60 PDUS IN THE LAST FEW MONTHS BEFORE YOUR PMP RENEWAL!
MAKE LIFE EASIER FOR YOURSELF AND CREATE A PLAN TO SCHEDULE WHEN AND HOW YOU WANT TO EARN
PDUS. ADD THE DATES TO YOUR CALENDAR, AND ONCE YOU HAVE EARNED THEM, QUICKLY TRANSFER THEM TO
THE CCRS AND STORE YOUR EVIDENCE IN A SINGLE FOLDER, SO YOU CAN REFER BACK TO IT IF NEEDED.
AN EVEN EASIER OPTION IS TO SIGN UP FOR A PRODUCT THAT DELIVERS PDUS TO YOU REGULARLY, LIKE THE
PDU PODCAST.
