PDUs (Professional Development Units)

Professional Development Units (PDUs) are a measure used to quantify ongoing education and training for professionals looking to maintain or enhance their skills. Each PDU reflects a specific amount of time spent on learning activities—such as workshops, courses, or seminars—related to one’s profession. Many professional certifications require a certain number of PDUs to ensure that individuals stay informed about the latest industry trends and practices. This commitment to continuous learning helps professionals remain competent, competitive, and capable in their fields, ultimately benefiting both their careers and the organizations they work for.
