PRINCE2 and PMI PDU credits

We get quite a few people asking us. So here is the answer to the question of whether you can claim Professional Development Unit (PDU) credits under the Project Management Institute (PMI) continuing accreditation scheme.

SUMMARY: Candidates may claim PDUs under PMI's "Category B: Continuing Education" for attending relevant CC Learning courses.

Discussion: Even though CC Learning does not carry actual PMI certification - this is NOT A BARRIER to you claiming PDU points. The story is that by attending educational courses that are deemed to be relevant to the PMI guidelines and that are offered by training organisations that are NOT registered with PMI (e.g. training (in any form) offered by your employer, another professional or a non-accredited PMI training organisation) you can lodge a claim.

Even if you consider that only a portion of the course you take relates to your area of expertise you can STILL CLAIM PDUs on the basis of 1 PDU per 1 hour of the course that is relevant (project management, project risk, project scheduling, or program management equals).

The only thing you need to do is ask us for a letter to prove your attendance and submit that along with a brochure of the course or syllabus that outlines the topics covered and the fact that our courses are in fact APMG accredited - as are our trainers.
