How to get PMP PDU’s Free

Introduction 

 

You have come to this article, which means you are already certified or planning to sit the exam. You are aware of what PDUs mean before I dive into telling you guys how you can earn free PDUs or what sort of resources you can use. However, 80% of professionals are confused about what PDUs are. So, before we go further into informing, we would like to clarify a common misconception about PMP PDU.

 

What is PMP PDU?

Project Management Professional, also known as PMP. PMI is the governing body of this PMP certification and is awarded to those who pass the exam. Before sitting the exam, PMI has outlined some mandatory guidelines to satisfy before you can sit.

PMP certification prerequisite is attaining 35 contact Hours of project management education, which can be easily satisfied by attending PMP training. One of the PMI requirements is before sitting in the exam. However, aspirants are confused about contact hours with PDUs. That is why aspirants look for 35 PMP PDU training or free training to satisfy the project management education requirement of PMP certification.

Professional Development Units were known as PDU. If you are a certified professional, you must understand that PDU is used in PMP Renewal. You should also be aware that maintaining your PMP certification requires 60 PDUs every three years if you have the certificate. Attending conferences, online PMP PDU courses, Training, and webinars, reading a book or author, and so on are all options. To learn more about it, you can earn PDUs with our 60 PDU self-paced online course, and you can reach us by calling on.

In short, if you are preparing for the PMP Certification exam, PDU is not for you. You must look for 35 contact hours to satisfy the PMI exam requirements.

PDUs and Contact Hours are different. PMI has clear guidelines of what can accept as Contact hours which can satisfy to sit in the exam

 

Contact Hours of Project Management Education

Verify at least 35 contact hours of specific instruction that addressed learning objectives in project
management. Record all education hours regardless of when they were accrued. The course work
must be completed at the time you submit the application.

 

NOTE: One hour of classroom instruction equals one contact hour. If you have completed a
university or college course on project management that met for three hours per week for 15
weeks, you would record 45 contact hours. If only a portion of a course dealt with project
management. only the hours spent on project management can be apphied toward the total

You can satisty the education requirements by demonstrating the successful completion of courses,
workshops and training sessions offered by one or more of the following types of education providers

TMoO®>»

PMI Registered Education Providers (R.E Ps)

PMI chapters *

Employer/company-sponsored programs

Training companies or consultants (e.g, training schools)
Distance-learning companies, including an end-of-course assessment
University/college academic and continuing education programs

The following education does not satisfy the education requirements.

PMI chapter meetings*
Self-directed learning (e.g. reading books, watching instructional videos or sessions
with coaches or mentors)

If at least one hour of a Chapter meeting is spent conducting a learning activity, the hour(s)
Spent in that activity can be counted towards the educational eligidiity requirement.

NOTE: While you may be able 10 record applicable classes that counted toward a degree. you
cannot record the degree program in its entirety because some classes within the program will
not apply to the requirement

 

Is there any way to get Free Contact hours and Free PDUs?

Consider this; You are reading a PMP book. PMI will not consider this a source of 35 Project Management Education contact hours. However, If you already have PMP certification and are trying to renew your certification, hours spent reading project management books will consider free PDUs. Contact hours must be instructional and taught by a project management trainer or experts.

Earning 35 free contact hours is pretty hard to make from free resources. Even if you can achieve this goal of achieving 35 free contact hours, We are not sure that PMI will be comprehensive enough to prepare for your PMP exam. However, You can try with free resources.
