Plus, you will learn the new required topics as well. Other ways to gain PDUs are to volunteer, read, and present. The downside is that you may need to track the PDU requirements yourself.

PMP Status and Renewal

What if I fail to renew my PMP certification on time?

If you miss your renewal cycle, your PMP status changes to suspended. A suspended status means you cannot use PMP credentials anywhere, including in your email signature, and your name is removed from the PMI PMP registry. However, you can still renew your PMP status within 12 months by earning 60 PDUs. If you do not renew within this grace period, your PMP status changes to expired, and you must retake the PMP exam to regain certification.

Can I renew PMP if my status is suspended?

Yes, you can. Earn 60 PDUs and renew your certification on your PMI dashboard. A suspended status still allows for renewal, provided it is done within the 12-month grace period.

Can I renew PMP if my status is expired?

No, once your PMP status becomes expired, you must pass the PMP exam again as a fresh candidate. Alternatively, you can consider pursuing other PMI certifications like Program or Portfolio Management.

Claiming PDUs

How many PDUs do I need to renew my PMP certification?

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

How and where do I report 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 provide required documents, dates, and verification details.

Can I earn PDUs for work experience?

Yes, project management activities like leading projects, delivering project management presentations, or writing articles on project management can earn you PDUs. However, there is a maximum limit for such PDUs. Refer to PMI's "Maintaining Your PMI Credentials" document for updated details.

Has your PMP certification been suspended?

Don’t panic. A suspension means your continuing certification requirement (CCR) cycle closed without the required PDUs being reported, or without the renewal fee being paid. It is a reversible status, not a cancellation, and reinstatement follows a defined two-step process.

Getting your PMP status reinstated

The process has two steps. First, earn 60 PDUs and report them in the PMI CCR system. Second, pay the renewal fee. Once both are complete, your PMP status is reinstated for the next three-year cycle.

How many PDUs you actually need

PMP, PgMP, PfMP and PMI-PBA each require 60 PDUs per three-year cycle. Of those 60, at least 35 must be Education (taught learning), and at least 8 of those Education PDUs must fall in each of the three Talent Triangle areas — Ways of Working, Power Skills and Business Acumen. That fixes 24 of the 35, leaving 11 Education PDUs free to place in any area.

The remaining 25 PDUs of the 60 may come from Giving Back, which is optional and capped at 25. Education has no ceiling, so if you prefer, all 60 PDUs can be Education.

60 PDUs total per three-year cycle for PMP, PgMP, PfMP and PMI-PBA
At least 35 must be Education, with a minimum of 8 in each Talent Triangle area

Up to 25 may come from Giving Back, which is optional
A CCR cycle runs three years from the date the certification was earned or last renewed

If you hold a different PMI certification

The same suspension logic applies to other credentials, but the PDU count differs. PMI-ACP and PMI-RMP each require 30 PDUs per three-year cycle, of which at least 18 must be Education. CAPM requires 15 PDUs per three-year cycle, of which at least 9 must be Education.

PMI Support – PDU Sheet

Sometimes you may need to contact PMI support directly when you are unable to report your PDUs through the online CCR system. This can happen if your certification is expired or already in suspended state. PMI support is reachable and does help, but they typically ask for your PDU information in a specific format.

We provide information as per the PDU format required by PMI support for suspended PMPs.

Questions people ask

What exactly happens when a PMP cycle closes without enough PDUs?

The certification moves into a suspended status until the required PDUs are reported and the renewal fee is paid. Your PMI certification account shows your specific status.

Do all 60 PDUs need to be Education?

No. At least 35 of the 60 must be Education, with a minimum of 8 in each Talent Triangle area, but Education has no upper limit, so all 60 can be Education if you prefer not to use Giving Back.

Can I use Giving Back PDUs to make up the difference?

Yes, up to 25 of the 60 PDUs can come from Giving Back, which is optional.

What if I can't report PDUs in the online CCR system because my certification is suspended?

Contact PMI support directly. They can process your PDUs when you supply the activity details in their required format: Activity Title, PDUs, Provider, and the Technical, Leadership and Strategic breakdown.

Does the same two-step reinstatement apply to PMI-ACP, PMI-RMP or CAPM?

The two-step process (earn the required PDUs, pay the renewal fee) is the same, but the PDU count differs: 30 PDUs for PMI-ACP and PMI-RMP, and 15 PDUs for CAPM, each per three-year cycle.
