Do you find that it’s difficult to get your
Professional Development re-certification done?
As PMs we ensure that we complete all of our client tasks but often neglect ourselves in the process. PDUs2GO is having a Category A PDU Blitz – I just love that I can earn portable Professional Development Units wherever I am – on a flight, in the hotel room, or on the Promenade in Seaside Oregon. 😉
I have been taking PDUs2Go Courses since 2008. I find the courses to be convenient and “Top Notch” and I highly recommend them.
Jennifer, told us “These courses will NOT expire but our Blitz will on December 31st 2013! So Buy the courses NOW, take them LATER!” 60 Category A PDUs are needed to re-certify as a PMP® with PMI® for every 3 year cycle.
There are enough Category A PDUs to recertify for 9 cycles!
Since these courses do not expire, you can do them at your leisure.
