Regarding 35 PDU's certificate
Hi,
My question is regarding mandatory 35 PDU's required for PMP exam eligibility.
I completed these PDU's by completing online trainings provided by my organization through skill soft.
The problem is that skill soft issues a single certificate for each of he process area/group like below.
so in all i have around 27 certificates which aggregates to around 50 PDU's.
I contacted skillsoft about issuing a single certificate showing the total number of PDU's,they said that they do not issue such single certificate.
my question is that do i need to have single certificate showing 35(in my case 50) PDU's training for applying for the exam or they will accept separate certificates.
One of the certificates i have shown below.
Thanks for your help in advance :-)

There is no such rule from PMI
There is no such rule from PMI to have a single consolidated certificate. Just keep those certificates handy with you. You will require the certificate copies as a proof ONLY IF you are caught in audit, in that case you can just send certificated worth 35 PDU to PMI.

Thank you very much saket sir
Thank you very much saket sir for the reply..
Do PMI accepts the certificates for 35 PDU's from skill soft that too if completed online?
I mean i wanted to be sure before i apply, if the trainings which i undergone from skillsoft will be held valid by PMI for considering the mandatory 35 hours training.
Thanks

Short Story – Yes
Short Story – Yes
Long Story – Skill soft is a REP. The PDU it is awarding you is in accordance with PMI. You have PMI approved and trusted PDU with you.
Keep smiling now, and prepare well for the exam.
