What are PDUs?
PDUs stand for Professional Development Units. PDUs are the measuring unit used to quantify your professional development as part of PMIs Continuing Certification Requirements (CCR) program. 1 PDU = 1 hour of learning/activity.
How do I claim my PDUs for these courses?
If you have a PMI number and you completed the course, ASU will submit your eligible PDUs for you. You should receive an e-mail from PMI.org indicating you have successfully submitted your PDU request. The e-mail will be sent to the address you have in your PMI.org profile. To claim your own PDUs please see PDU submission instructions.
When reporting PDU activities, is any supporting documentation required?
You do not need supporting documentation to report PDUs and renew your credential. When reporting your PDUs through CCRS, you will be directed to include specific information about the activity in the PDU claim form.
NOTE: PMI recommends you maintain a personal folder for all PDU-related documentation and keep this documentation for at least 18 months after your CCR cycle has ended. If you are randomly selected for an audit, you will need to provide this documentation
