Here’s how I use only free PDUs for PMP recertification to renew my PMP^® every 3 years. I don’t waste time or money paying for more unneeded PDU courses. I get enough real-world professional development and learning from the awesome projects and people I work with. But to renew my PMP, I need to document that I’ve earned certain types of PDUs following PMI’s rules. The PMP renewal rules are complicated, which results in many PMPs paying for unneeded training courses. But paying for unneeded training wastes a lot of time and money. I earn all my PDUs for free and renew my PMP easily in a few weeks (or less). And even though I could claim more PDUs from my volunteer work or sharing PM knowledge, I don’t bother claiming these as there are far easier ways to claim PDUs.

The only tricky part to renewing your PMP is:

• understanding PMI’s various rules and categories of PDUs;
• carefully documenting your PDU claims to avoid push-back or auditing from PMI;
• finding, earning, and claiming useful PDUs without wasting your precious time, money, or brain power.
