PMP Continuing Certification Requirements (CCR)

2 Philips Excellence Project Management Practice Rev 1

Target AudienceThis slide deck is intended for individuals who currently hold a Project Management Professional (PMP) Certification from the Project Management Institute (PMI).

Once you are a PMP Certification holder, you need to adhere to PMI’s Continuing Certification Requirements (CCR) program.

You must earn and report the required numbers of PDUs (60) during your three year cycle to remain in good standing. Failure to do so will require you to re-apply and re-take the examination.

PDUs are used to quantify approved learning and professional service activities

1 Hour of activity equals 1 PDU (can be reported in ¼ increments as well)

Also, important updates will be made to the CCR program by PMI beginning 1 December 2015.
