Excellent all around!

Excellent all around! Point Advantage is a winner for me! The PMP training was fantastic and the course made good on its promise of success on the first exam. On an ongoing basis, the Point Advantage training program to maintain PDU's is an excellent program. Customer support is top-notch and whenever I had a question or issue, everything was resolved within a day or less. I have recommended the program to numerous peers and associates.

What is a PDU?
A PDU is a Professional Development Unit and a key term in the PMI® community. One hour of planned, structured, and measured learning activities equals one PDU. PDUs are hours of training required to maintain a PMI® certification, including: CAPM®, PMP®, and PgMP®. When taking online training to get the PMP®, earn the PDUs for PMP® continuing education or any other purpose, your total learning time in an online course closely approximates the hours awarded.

Keeping the PMP® certification
For those with the PMP® certification, all 60 PDUs required to be earned and reported every 3 years can be achieved by completing any of our online continuing education courses. As of March 1, 2011, the PMI® PDU reporting categories were streamlined and implemented. All PDUs earned by completing online training with Point Advantage get reported in Category A to PMI®. There are no maximum limits for the Category A PDUs. This allows you to earn all the PDUs possibly needed for your PMP® recertification online at Point Advantage.

If you reach 60 PDUs AND are in the third year of your current reporting cycle, up to 20 additional PDUs earned in the third year (after going above 60 PDUs) can be applied and credited to the next reporting cycle. So, you may want to consider leveraging one of our online training PDU course plans that lets you maximize the number of PDUs you can earn for 2 reporting cycles with the purchase of just one online project management training subscription plan. The most popular choices for maximizing the number of PDUs are the PACE 1: UNLIMITED and PACE 1: 60 PDUs online project management training subscription plans.
