How many pdus are required for pmp certification

Question

In case you are a fresher, you need to gain some specific number of PDU‘s (Professional Development Units) before you can apply for PMP® Certification. Can someone clarify how many pdus are required for pmp certification?

Answer 1

• Once you have received your PMP® Credential, you need to work hard to keep your credential active else it will be dissolved after 3 years.

• To maintain your credential status active, you need to participate in the Continuing Certification Requirements (CCR) program.

• According to this program, being a PMP® credential holder, you are expected to earn 60 Professional Development Units (PDU) in a cycle of 3 years. 

• Well, one PDU is equivalent to one hour spent in any Professional Development activity. 

• Once you have enough PDU’s you can easily apply for the certification renewal. 

• For certification renewal, PMI charges 60 USD for PMI members and 150 USD for non-members.

The actual fact is, you need 35 contact hours not the PDU’s to be able to apply for this exam. You can bag this with the help of the PMP Course.

You don’t have any use of PDU’s unless and until you bag the PMP® Certification. You need to earn 60 PDUs every three years to keep your PMP® Credential active.
