PDU Myths

Myth: I need to maintain 90 PDUs if I have PMP and PMI-RMP credentials A: No, you can earn PDUs toward maintaining PMI credentials simultaneously. If you have PMP and PMI-RMP, find the event that provides PDUs to both credentials. PDU Knowledge Method www.knowledgemethod.com 7

PDU Myths

Myth: I can only attend courses by R.E.P.s to obtain PDUs. A: Courses offered by R.E.P.s are recognized by PMI, and can provide you PDUs. You can also earn PDUs by attending non-R.E.P. courses. But, if you are audited, you need to justify the number of hours for PDU in the case of non-R.E.P. courses.

PDU Myths

Myth: The course providers told me I can earn xx PDUs, I can take that and submit PDUs based on 1 hour = I PDU. A: If the course provider is non-R.E.P., it is the responsibility of the PMP to gauge whether a course is relevant to the knowledge or process areas as listed within the PMBOK Guide. The determination of relevance is to be made by the PMP. PDU Knowledge Method www.knowledgemethod.com 9

PDU Myths

Myth: If I have more than 60 PDUs in my current CCR cycle, I can carry forward the extra (in excess of 60 PDUs) to next CCR cycle. A: This is correct… but you can only roll-over max 20 PDUs to the next CCR cycle, and these PDUs must be earned in the 3rd year of current cycle.

PDU Myths

Myth: I must retake PMP exam if I do not obtain 60 PDUs at the end of last CCR cycle. A: If your PMP has lapsed for more than 1 year, yes you need to retake the exam again. But if you failed to recertify and still within a year of the expiry upon , your PMP status will be in suspension. PDU Knowledge Method www.knowledgemethod.com 11
