3 Easy Ways to earn PDUs After Completing the PMP® Exam
PDUs or personal development units are required to maintain PMI certifications. It’s a great way to uphold the certification's integrity and help you remain up-to-date with industry trends and new skills.
You must earn 60 PDUs every 3 years to maintain the PMP® certification. Other certifications may not require as many. I think a best practice is to always continue educating yourself in your industry or a new industry if you want to remain relevant. And if you’re already a PM, you know the value of learning new methodologies and ways to approach project management.
The Women of Project Management community is a great place to earn PDUs through our weekly Lunch & Learns, courses inside the membership, and our annual WOPM conference!
Weekly Lunch & Learn with PM Experts
Our newest addition to the Women of Project Management membership is our weekly Lunch & Learn sessions! We have such a great time each week connecting with members and interested individuals. Every 3rd Friday of the month we offer continuing education sessions; this Friday Ordonna Sargeant will be discussing how to rebound after getting laid off.
Every fourth Friday we offer sessions all about certifications! This is a quick, easy, and worthwhile way to earn PDUs.
