Professional Development Units (PDUs)

Professional Development Units (PDUs) are measurement credits used to quantify continuing education and skill-building activities for professionals, especially those maintaining certifications like the Project Management Professional (PMP). Typically, earning PDUs involves attending seminars, workshops, or courses, as well as participating in webinars, self-directed learning, or volunteering. PDUs help ensure professionals stay current with industry standards, best practices, and evolving knowledge. Accumulating a required number of PDUs within a specific period is often a condition for recertification, demonstrating ongoing commitment to professional growth and expertise.
