Maintaining your PMP status and Professional Development Units (PDU)

The PMI requires that a PMP earn 60 professional development units (PDU) every three years in order to maintain certification.

Each hour of learning on our public courses earns you one PDU and all e-training courses also entitle you to PDUs.

ESI International has now a large range of courses for experienced project managers which will take you to the next level in project management and will able you to maintain your PMP Certification.

To report your PDUs, you will need to submit a PMP Professional Development Activities Reporting Form directly to PMI. This form can be found on the PMI website at www.pmi.org.

For each PMP Activity Report, reflecting PDU's earned with a Registered Education Provider, (category 3 from PMI guidelines), you will be asked to provide a "Programme Number". This 12-character number can be completed as follows: The first four spaces, preceding the hyphen, are for ESI's "Provider Number:" 1038.

The eight spaces provided following the hyphen are for ESI's six character course code (or Programme Number), specific to the class you've completed. Since all course codes are six characters long, report the first two spaces as zeros. ESI course codes can be found on the confirmation letter you received upon registration as well as in ESI's project management catalogues and the course pages on this Website.
