Presentation Title 

Higher Ed for Managing Your PDUs

Description

What are PDUs? Professional Development Units (PDUs) are one-hour blocks of time that you spend learning, teaching others, or volunteering. By accumulating and tracking these over a three-year period you can maintain your certification status with PMI. Maintaining 60 PDUs to recertify for your PMP is not that daunting when you break down the units by year and track your efforts. Did you know the Project Management Institute provides the tools to monitor, edit and self-report your hours as you acquire them? Do you know there are more than a dozen different ways you can earn PDU credits in addition to sitting through a presentation? In this presentation, you will learn helpful ways to earn PDUs, tools to manage your hours and be able to clearly confirm your hours if selected for an audit. We will look at resources provided by PMI.org to monitor your PDUs and we will look at a home-grown tool to track time accumulated towards recertifying your professional certification.
