Would you like to earn 15 free PDUs?

Listen to the People and Projects Podcast!

I recently ran into a guy who had worked diligently to get his PMP certification, only to lose it 3 years later because he didn't get the required continuing education PDUs. The truth is getting 60 PDUs can be a challenge. How about getting 15 PDUs for free?

Listening to the People and Projects Podcast allows you to claim Category 2 Self-Direct Learning PDUs. You can claim up to 15 of these type of PDUs in every 3 year certification cycle.

How Does it Work?

Each PDU represents 60 minutes of learning. For podcasts that are under an hour, just listen to a couple on the same topic and consolidate them. For example, two half-hour podcast episodes on communications issues can be consolidated into one PDU for Project Communications Management.

How Do I Report My PDUs?

• The Project Management Institute (PMI) provides an online PDU reporting site. Click here to be taken to the site.

• You'll enter your PMI ID Number and PMP Certification Number. The password to use is indicated in the instructions. Click the "PMI PDU Self Report Form" radio button, and then the LOGIN button.

• You'll be prompted for "What activity do you wish to claim?" Select "Category 2sdl: Self-Directed Learning". Then claim your PDUs for listening to the People and Projects Podcast.

Are Free PDUs Really That Easy?

Yes they are! Of course this goes without saying but I'll say it anyway: all PDU submissions are subject to review and audit by PMI so make sure to keep records of which episodes you are including. That's it!

If you have any questions, check out PMI's Continuing Certification Requirements (CCR) Program handbook.
