There are different ways of getting your 60 PDUs (Professional Development Units). There are training programs, which can be expensive, but worth the money, if there are part of your professional development plan. In addition, there are PMI meetings that are less expensive, although more time consuming due to traveling to different events. If the networking is important for your business and personal development, this method should not be avoided. What should you do if your professional development plan does not include trainings that offer PDUs or if your business or job does not allow you to join the PMI meetings as often as you wish?
Have you passed your PMP exam? Congratulations! That is good news. You can go in vacation and celebrate, but keep in mind: the PMP certification is not for life. You need to re-certify yourself by earning 60 Professional Development Units (PDUs). If you do not plan for them as a real project manager does, and if you do not follow your plan, you risk losing your certification after three years. In this case, the only remaining solution would be to take the PMP exam again. That means loss of money, effort, and maybe facing different exam rules. The “PDUs” blog category will provide tips and directions to get your 60 PDUs without investing too much money and effort.
