Claiming PDUs

Project Management Professionals (PMPs) are responsible for reporting their Professional Development Units (PDUs) in the Project Management Institute's (PMI's) Continuing Certification Requirements (CCR) System. PMPs may also view their PDU transcript from this system. To access the CCR System, login to www.pmi.org, then scroll to the bottom of your home page and click View PDUs under "My Certification Status." Additional information on How to Earn PDUs is available on our website under the Career Development tab.

Tips:

• If the Activity number field is left blank, the system will display all activities for the provider. 
• There are no individual activity numbers for 1 or 2 PDU events, such as chapter meetings. 
• The search results can be sorted in ascending or descending order by clicking on the Activity # or Activity Name column heading. 
• If PDUs are earned through another provider, ask for the correct provider number and activity number. 
• Registered education providers are responsible for submitting activities to PMI so they can be entered in the CCR System.
