Whats the difference between PDU and graduate credit?
PDU, or ‘professional development unit’ credit, may count toward teacher recertification. Each state calculates professional development credits differently, and PDU is a Virginia term, synonymous to “continuing education credit ” or “continuing education unit .” A standard collaborative CaseNEX course is worth 45 contact hours. In Virginia, 45 contact hours are worth 90 PDUs. A certificate of completion is awarded once PDU course requirements are met. Most CaseNEX courses can also be taken for three university graduate credits. Once graduate credit requirements are met, an official university transcript is granted by a CaseNEX university partner.
