Contact Hours – These are the hours required as pre-requisite to sit for PMP exam. PMI requires 35 contact hours of Project Management education. These hours can be obtained from attending PMP prep classes; either physically or online. But you have to check that the course you are taking is approved by PMI. Remember, Contact Hours are gained before you sit for your PMP exam. You need to report these hours in your exam application to PMI.
PDUs – Professional Development Units. For every PMP, we are required to report 60 PDUs for every 3-year cycle of our credential. We are required to report this as part of Continuing Certification Requirements (CCR) Program. Failure to do so, will cause our credential to be suspended. At the end of suspension period, if we still fail to report the required amount, our credential will be expired. Once expired, we need to sit for PMP exam again. PDUs are reported after you have acquired your PMP status.
