Continuing Education Credits? (PDUs)
This course also aligns with the PMI-ACP® program so gives you some of the hours you need to qualify for their exam, as well as class C PDUs to maintain your existing PMI certification. This course by itself does not get you certified, but it makes you smarter in your quest to do so, or to simply enhance your skill at work.
To claim them go to PMI's CCRS PDU claim website, log in, report PDUs, select class C (Self directed learning), and enter Agile Dimensions or Udemy in the provider field. There are some limits on how many hours of each type you can use to renew your certification (for example, 15 of the 30, for example).
See ya on the forum!
