Once you have received your PMP® Credential, you need to work hard to keep your credential active else it will be dissolved after 3 years.
-
To maintain your credential status active, you need to participate in the Continuing Certification Requirements (CCR) program.
-
According to this program, being a PMP® credential holder, you are expected to earn 60 Professional Development Units (PDU) in a cycle of 3 years. You can even check out the details of ITIL with the ITIL Certification.
-
Well, one PDU is equivalent to one hour spent in any Professional Development activity.
-
Don’t worry, PDU’s are easy to earn as you earn a PDU while you contribute to your profession and most of the training courses help you in gaining them.
-
Once you have enough PDU’s you can easily apply for the PMP certification renewal. For certification renewal, PMI charges 60 USD for PMI members and 150 USD for non-members.
