BEING A PMI VOLUNTEER

Giving Back to the Profession and Earning PDUs

Giving Back to the Profession is a unique opportunity for you to expand your knowledge and skills while growing both personally and professionally. Although not required for recertification, earning Giving Back PDUs is a great way to expand your horizons.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

You can earn Giving Back PDUs by giving a presentation – 1 hour presenting equals 1 PDU. Check out the certification handbook for more details, and visit our online Continuing Certification Renewal System (CCRS) to report PDUs and view your certification records. Be sure to keep track of your time preparing and delivering your presentation so that you may claim PDUs as a self-reported activity. 

• To claim PDUs: Log into ccrs.pmi.org with your username and password, and click Report PDUs. Your PDUs should be claimed under "Give a Presentation." One (1) hour of time preparing and delivering your presentation is equal to 1 PDU.
