Earn PDUs with Ideas via Email to Maintain Your PMP® Credential
In our current series of PDU Tips we are exploring the many ways you can earn PDUs. Today we look at how you can use email to give you a constant stream of ideas for free PDUs.
This series has covered a number of ways for you to earn PDUs, which are essential if you want to keep your Project Management Institute (PMI)® credential up to date. Certified Associate in Project Management (CAPM)® is the only credential that does not have a PDU requirement, so the rest of you will embark on the 3 year recertification process that requires you to log your continuous professional development with PMI®. Project Management Professional (PMP)® credential holders need to show evidence of 60 PDUs. That works out as 20 per year.
Are you stuck for ideas of how to get all these PDUs? Or worried that it will be expensive or time consuming to get them? The PDU Insider newsletter at http://www.pdu-insider.com will help you identify great, cost-effective ideas about how to achieve your PDUs.
The newsletter gives you links to free events where you can earn PDUs and you can also have your PMP® PDU questions answered. You will learn more about the rules and policies of earning PDUs with each issue. After all… knowledge is power, so it’s always best to know the rules of any program you participate in.
The newsletter highlights any trends and updates to the Continuing Certification Requirements System, and includes articles on Project Management, written by PMP® certified Project Managers, to help you practice project management more effectively. It will guide you to resources for getting free PDUs, point you to the latest recommended project management books (useful for self-directed study PDUs in Category C) and tell you about current tools, techniques and best practices.
It even includes access to special offers and discounts, making earning PDUs and assessing your skills even cheaper!
