You can start submitting PDUs at any time during your three-year PgMP certification cycle. It is strongly recommended to complete all 60 required PDUs before your cycle end date to prevent your certification from being suspended or expiring.
To maintain your Program Management Professional (PgMP) certification, you must renew it every three years by fulfilling the Continuing Certification Requirements (CCR) established by the Project Management Institute (PMI).
Earn 60 PDUs (Professional Development Units):
To maintain your PgMP certification, you must earn 60 PDUs within your three-year cycle. PDUs can be gained through learning, professional experience, or contributing to the program management community. Activities may include attending PMI courses, webinars, conferences, or volunteering in leadership and mentoring roles.
Submit Your PDUs:
Log in to your PMI account and record your earned PDUs through the CCR Dashboard on PMI’s official website. Ensure all submissions align with PMI’s Talent Triangle (Technical, Leadership, and Strategic PDUs).
Pay the Renewal Fee:
For PMI Members: USD 60
For Non-Members: USD 150
Payment can be made online through your PMI account after your PDUs have been reviewed and approved.
Maintain Active Membership (Optional but Recommended):
Maintaining PMI membership provides access to free or discounted webinars, courses, and study materials—making it easier to earn PDUs and stay updated on the latest program management practices.
