With the PRINCE2 Masterclass, how many PMI PDU can be claimed for this course? 

The good news is that you earn 35 PDUs through PRINCE2 Training!

There’s a lot of confusion when holders of PMP and other PMI Project Management certificates look to maintain their qualification through continuing professional development. PMP holders need to earn 60 Professional Development Units (PDUs) during each 3 year cycle in order to maintain their PMP credential.

There are 5 Categories of activity which will earn you PDUs:

1. Formal Academic Education e.g. a university course
2. Professional Activities and Self Directed Learning e.g. article in a professional journal
3. Courses offered by PMI Registered Education Providers e.g.  a PRINCE2 course from a training company that teaches PMP
4. Courses from Other Training Providers e.g.  a PRINCE2 course from a training company that does not teach PMP
5. Volunteer Service e.g.  application of project management skills to assist a charitable organisation
