How to Claim PDUs for a WMPMI event:

 
Education PDUs
PDU earning is necessary for professional certification maintenance. There are minimum requirements for Education PDUs around the PMI Talent Triangle—Ways of Working, Power Skills and Business Acumen. Once you fulfill those requirements, the rest is up to you. Here are some ways you can earn Education PDUs.
 
Courses and Educational Training
Take project management courses anytime, anywhere to build your knowledge and skills, and fuel continual growth which will help you excel in an ever-changing landscape.
 
Global and Local Events & Conferences
Meetings and events that bring together global or local communities, including educational sessions, keynote sessions, and featured speakers. PMI Events offer a great opportunity to find perspective and support for your toughest challenges through a global network of project professionals!
 
Giving Back to the Profession PDUs

Although not required for recertification, earning Giving Back PDUs is a great way to expand your knowledge and skills while growing personally and professionally. Here are some popular ways that you can earn Giving Back PDUs.

Work as a Practitioner

By working in your certified role, you can earn PDUs by applying your knowledge and skills in a practical setting.

Mentoring or Teaching Others

Others can benefit from your experience and knowledge. Keep track of the time you spend mentoring and teaching and claim it towards re-certification.
