      Maintaining your certification

      Earning your certification is a big step — maintaining it shouldn't have to be. Continuing education is core to PMI certification. PMI-CP holders need to earn 30 professional development units (PDUs) in each 3-year cycle to maintain certification. Each PDU represents one hour spent:

      • Learning
      • Teaching others
      • Presenting
      • Reading
      • Volunteering
      • Content creating

      Build Your Skills Through Advanced Courses

      After attaining the PMI-CP, you can enrich your skills through three engaging and self-paced courses. Upon successful completion, you will be awarded a well-deserved certificate recognizing your accomplishment.

      These advanced courses are designed for higher-level skill development for senior-level professionals. Each self-paced module is a 6–10-hour commitment. PDUs earned from these courses can be applied to certification renewals.

      While not mandatory for the PMI-CP certification and capstone exam, these courses pave the way for you to ascend to the next level by obtaining the PMI-SCP™.
