How do we determine how many PDUs to award for distance education courses?
Typically, one PDU is earned for every hour spent in a planned, structured project management learning experience or activity. This type of calculation is successful for face-to-face seminars; however, distance education courses may have a wide range of “completion times.” Courses delivered via nontraditional means will be assigned PDUs based on the average time in hours needed to complete the course by a minimum of 10 sample participants. Alternative methods of PDU assignment may be approved on a case-by-case basis.
