Maintaining your Credential
Once you possess a PMI credential (e.g. PMP or CAPM), you are required to participate in the Continuing Certification Requirements (CCR) Program. Your certification/CCR cycle begins the day you pass the exam and/or multi-rater assessment (for PgMP credential holders) and ends on the same date three years later.
To adhere to the CCR program, you need to participate in professional development activities where you earn professional development units (PDUs). PDUs are used to quantify approved professional development activities. Typically, you earn one PDU for one hour (60 minutes) spent in a planned, structured professional development activity.
Each credential requires a certain number of PDUs per three year credential cycle.
PMP requires 60 PDUs in a 3-year cycle
CAPM requires no PDUs, but you will have to re-exam at the end of 5-year cycle
