Maintain Your Certification

Continuing Certification Requirements (CCR) Program

Earning your certification is a big step—maintaining it shouldn’t be.

Our Continuing Certification Requirements (CCR) program is designed to help you develop in-demand skills and maintain your certification status with ease.

What are PDUs?

Professional Development Units (PDUs) are one-hour blocks of time you spend:

• Learning
• Teaching Others
• Volunteering

PDUs help you maintain your PMI certification status. Explore various ways to earn PDUs and ensure they align with the PMI Talent Triangle®.

 

PDU Requirements

To maintain our certifications, you must earn a certain number of PDUs every 3 years.

For example:

• Project Management Professional (PMP)® certification requires 60 PDUs.
• Certifications like the Agile Certified Professional (PMI-ACP)® require 30 PDUs.

Check out our breakdown of PDU requirements by certification.
