- Encourages and facilitates perpetual learning of the PMP certified professional
- Safeguards the credibility and value of the PMI certification
- Provides learning opportunities to the professionals and helps them stay relevant and proficient in management practices throughout the world.
Earning the PDUs
Once the professional clears the exam and earns the PMP certification, his/her three-year certification cycle commences.
Within this three year cycle, the individual must earn and record 60 PDUs or Professional Development Units to maintain and renew his/her PMP certification. PDUs can be earned either by continuously learning about management skills or by contributing constructively towards the management profession. An hour of professional management training is equivalent to 1 PDU.
PMP certification suspension and expiration
Failure to earn and record 60 PDUs within 3 years of certification cycle results in a 1 year suspension period. If the professional still fails to earn the mandatory PDUs during the suspension period, his/her PMP certification will expire and he/she would then need to apply for the credential afresh.
