PMP Renewal - PDU Categories

The PMI - PMP certification has to be renewed on every 3 years. 

To renew the PMP, everyone has to earn 60 PDUs on each three years. ( PDU is Professional Development Unit). These 60 PDUs need to be earned under some classification guided by PMI.

Mainly this is classified into two categories. 

First one is Education and second one is Giving Back. 

1. Education:

    a. Technical

    b. Leadership

    c. Strategic & Business

2. Giving Back:

    a. Work as a Practitioner

These 35 PDUs under education should fall under the below classification.

    b. Leadership  - In Leadership, minimum 8 PDUs should be earned.
