Professional Development Units (PDUs)

The professional development units (PDUs) are the measuring unit used to quantify approved learning and professional service activities. 

Courses offered by PMI Registered Education Providers (R.E.P.s) are preapproved for contact hours in fulfillment of certification eligibility requirements, as well as PDUs to fulfill the continuing certification requirements (CCR) for PMI credentials.
