Do I Need Giving Back PDUs To Renew My PMP® Certification?
The short answer is NO.
PMI® classifies PDUs into two different categories: Education and Giving Back. PMI® defines learning as Education PDUs. And “Giving Back PDUs related to activities that enable you to share and apply your knowledge and skills to contribute to and help build the profession. Education PDUs are COMPULSORY. Giving Back PDUs are OPTIONAL.
On the one hand, PMI® requires a PMP® holder to earn at least 35 Education PDUs out of 60 PDUs to renew the certificate every 3-year cycle. And a PMP® holder can earn up to 60 Educational PDUs to renew the certificate. There is NO LIMITATION on Education PDUs.
On the other hand, Giving Back PDUs are not mandatory for PMP® renewal. Some PMP® holders want to claim Giving Back PDUs; however, PMI® limits 25 maximum Giving Back PDUs every 3-year cycle. Some PMP® holders do not claim Giving Back PDUs because they have enough Education PDUs to keep their certification in good standing for the next 3-year cycle.
