What is a Professional Development Unit (PDU)?
A. The PDU is a measure of time spent in a structured learning activity. For formalized learning activities, the course content should be consistent with the knowledge areas and processes as outlined by The PMBOK® Guide and involve appropriate expert resources. One (1) PDU is given for each hour of structured learning. Fractions of hours will be accepted in .25 increments only after the first hour of learning is earned. An activity or group of related activities must be a minimum of one full hour to be accepted. (Ten minutes per each hour for breaks are permitted in programs that exceed one hour in length.) Please note: A specified number of PDUs may also be earned for service to the profession and for specified professional activities.
