PMP Continuing Certification Requirements Program Handbook
CCR Program Overview
PMI’s Continuing Certification Requirements (CCR) program supports the ongoing educational and professional development of our certification holders so they are always prepared to meet the demands of today’s complex business environment.
The purpose of the CCR program is to:
- Enhance continuous learning and development among certification holders
- Provide direction in development areas to ensure relevancy of certified practitioners
- Encourage and recognize individualized learning opportunities
- Offer a mechanism for attaining and recording professional development activities
- Sustain the global recognition and value of PMI credentials
Everyone who earns a PMI certification (with the exception of the CAPM® certification) must actively maintain their certification(s) through participation in the CCR Program and renewal of their certification(s) every 3 years.
Partaking in professional development and learning activities allows certification holders to earn Professional Development Units (PDUs), fulfilling the continuing certification requirements and ultimately growing and developing as a practitioner.
We know that each individual has different professional needs and desires.
The CCR program is designed to be flexible so that it can adapt to those needs and allow you to customize your CCR activities. The CCR program provides a general framework and guidance—you determine your ultimate CCR and development path.
CCR Requirements
All PMI certification holders must earn PDUs to actively maintain their PMI certification(s).
These PDUs can be earned through various professional development activities that center on one of two areas:
- Education – Learning opportunities that allow you to expand and enhance your
technical, leadership, or strategic and business management skills. - Giving back to the Profession – Activities that enable you to share and utilize your
knowledge and skills as a means to contribute to and help build the profession.
There are different CCR requirements for each PMI certification, as outlined in the downloadable PDF below!
