You still have time to renew. Confirm the same with PMI support. Login to your PMI dashboard and claim PDUs as per your PMI certification requirement. Once you fulfill the requirement, renew your PMI certification. Remember that all PMI certifications have a 3 year renewal timeline.

Renewing your PMI certification shows your ongoing commitment to professional growth and ensures your skills stay relevant in the evolving business environment.

PDUs, or Professional Development Units, are earned through professional development activities such as attending webinars, taking courses, or contributing to the profession by mentoring or creating content.  You need to spend required hours to earn equivalent PDUs ie one hour project management seminar would earn you 1 PDU.

You need to earn 60 PDUs over a three-year cycle to renew your PMP certification.

No, PDUs are obtained through learning activities and professional development, not work experience. However, activities like leading projects, giving project management presentations, or writing articles on the topic can earn you PDUs.

PDUs are reported by logging into the PMI website at PMI.org and entering them into the Continuing Certification Requirements (CCR) system, detailing the activity and the number of PDUs earned. You may need to give required documents/dates and verification details.

If you don’t earn the required required PDUs within your three-year cycle, your PMI certification will be suspended for one year. The good part is that in the suspended year, you can still renew your PMI credential.

PMI sends email reminders as your certification end date approaches. Keeping track of your end date and PDU earnings is also recommended to ensure timely renewal. Login to PMI.org to know your PMI certification status.

Missing the renewal deadline puts your certification in a suspended state for one year. You can not use your credential when in suspended state. The good news is that if you decide to renew, then you can report the required PDUs and renew your PMI credential by paying the renewal fee at PMI.org.

There are two main types of PDUs: Education PDUs and Giving Back PDUs. Education PDUs are earned by participating in educational activities, such as taking courses, attending workshops, or reading books. Giving Back PDUs are earned by volunteering your time to the project management profession, such as speaking at conferences or mentoring other project managers.
