Earning your PDUs from PMI REPs (Registered Education Providers) has pros and cons compared to earning PDUs from other sources. One benefit of PDUs from REPs is that if a REP course or video is listed in the registered activities database in PMI’s CCRS, then the PDUs from that activity are pre-approved by PMI. The only documentation you will need is your certificate of completion for the course/video.

However, you should consider the following before earning PDUs from REPs:

• you can earn the required 60 PDUs from reading PM-related books or ebooks;
• most PMI REPs charge money for their PDU-granting courses or only let you earn 1 or 2 free PDUs (tip: we can show you the easiest ways to earn all your PDUs for free);
• a lot of websites offer “free PDUs” that are not pre-approved CCRS-listed REP course activities, which means they are more likely to be rejected or require further documentation to be approved by PMI (tip: if done correctly, claiming PDUs for reading certain books is also an easy way to get your PDUs for your PMP renewal); and
• unlike reading a book, you often need to watch videos and sometimes pass a quiz in order to earn PDUs from REPs.

Despite this, there are some great PDU sources we recommend to our FastPDU.com supporters. Some of the things we’ve recently recommended to our FastPDU.com members include:
