This local chapter of PMI is sharing the following information from the national headquarters of PMI:
Between now and 1 March 2011, PMI is requesting that PMP credential holders register their existing PDUs in the CCR system under the current PDU categories. After 1 March 2011, credential holders will need to report PDUs using the new categories.
Key changes to the program include:
- Simplification to the CCR category structure, reducing the number of categories from 18 to 6
- Ensuring that all categories use the rule that one hour of learning activity is equivalent to one PDU
- Expanding the categories to include Web 2.0 learning opportunities
- Adding limits on certain categories to require that all credential holders pursue project management continuing education as part of maintaining their credential
It is also important to note what is not changing in the program:
- The three-year renewal cycle and number of PDUs required to maintain the credential will remain the same
- The re-certification fee structure will remain the same
Since research has shown that people did not fully understand the PDU categories and how to appropriately report their PDUs using that structure, we are pleased to respond to this customer feedback to make the structure more user-friendly and better serve our certification holders and the stakeholders who support them.
Please take a moment to read through the FAQs and the New PDU Category Structure and Policies document on PMI.org for more detailed information about this update.
