| Self-Directed Learning Activities
Don't miss opportunities to earn PDUs to fulfill the Continuing Certification Requirements (CCR) Program. Make the most of time spent waiting in airports, riding the train and on long road trips by reading a book or viewing a DVD that is relevant to project management. These are just a few examples of Category 2-Self-Directed Learning (2-SDL) activities that can earn you up to 15 PDUs during each active certification/CCR cycle.
Category 2-SDL PDUs are categorized by PMI as individualized learning activities involving personally conducted research or study. To qualify for credit under Category 2-SDL, an activity must:
- Be relevant to project management
- Meet a specified purpose
- Use knowledgeable resources.
Other activities that qualify for Category 2-SDL PDUs include discussions or coaching sessions with subject matter experts and studying print or electronic materials (articles, CD-ROMs, instructional manuals, etc). The resources used for self-directed learning must be identified when reporting PDUs.
For more information on PDU reporting categories and guidelines, refer to the Continuing Certifications Requirements (CCR) handbook.
