  • Do you know that you can watch a movie and add 4 PDU for that? Starnge but true. Of course, you need to be precise what you have learned from that movie.

Some employers are certified training providers with PMI. If they are, you can often take internal training classes at work and register them for PDUs.

  • Our company's training program registers and has a code to enter into the PMI site to register the PDUs. I'm guessing if you contact PMI and give them your employer, they can look it up.

Participate on this site. You can claim PDUs under Category C (self-directed learning); I myself claimed around 4-5 PDUs already from spending time on this site. (You can use RescueTime to track how long you're here.)

More details are listed on my blog post about this topic.

Simply being a PM earns you PDU's. I believe it is 5 PDU's per year.
