PDU's after clearing PMP
Dear All:
This is for those who have just cleared their PMP examination, once you clear the exam you cannot immediately submit or claim your pdu's after passing your PMP since it takes almost four to six weeks for your claim webpage to be created. So once you are on the claim webpage and it does not authorises you that means your webpage is still not created. So do not worry guys it would take some time for PMI to create it. Incase should you dont get access to the Claim PDU's webpage then get intouch with PMI for rectifying this problem.
I hope this information would be useful to all of you :) See you later with more topics in this forum.
Hi Admin: Thanks for opening this forum really a nice place to share post PMP subjects.

Achieving 60 PDUs
Thanks to the admin for creating this forum in GOD speed.
What are the effective ways of acheiving the 60 PDUs in 3 years. I went through the list and it only suggests more work than preparing and clearing the PMP examination. 60 PDU in 3 years seems very achieveable but its not easy.
To my knowledge the easiest way to learn and achieve PDUs is to take some specialization certificates. Is there any one planning to take the PMP-SP or PMP-RMP certification? I believe that we can adjust the points that we get in PMP-SP towards our PMP credentails.

Hi Sujit: There are many
Hi Sujit:
There are many answers to this:
1. You can take up a training or specialised project management training which can give you some PDU's
2. Also try to attend the lecture series conducted by some REP's , I attended one last week and I got 5 pdu's for that, sometimes they are free and sometimes they charge you.
3. You can also visit PMI site they offer you various ways to earn your pdu's, such as attending conferences etc.
4. Earning PMP-SP or PMP-RMP certifications is totally another thing, I think you need some eligibility criteria for that may be you can check that out.
I'll keep updating this thread regularly with various ways of earning PDU's.

Hi Bhupesh Thanks for
Hi Bhupesh
Thanks for the reply. Yes there are some criteria that we need to meet before we can take PMP-SP or PMP-RMP. I am talking in terms of the CCR cycle of 3 years before which we would be able to meet the criteria and also appear for the exam.
One teaching session earns us 5 points and other offerings like the lecture series by REC's also get us 5 points. If the REC's have to be paid for then I might as well end up paying lot more. That is why I am thinking of less costlier way (but should also provide a good learning experience) to achieve the 60 PDUs.
I am also going to do some research into this to see what other ways we can achieve the 60 PDUs with minimal cost impact ( and providing a good learning curver) :-) . I will also keep posting as and when I get some information.

Hi Sujit: It will be
Hi Sujit:
It will be difficult for someone to provide 60 PDU's in one shot, I think we need to collect PDU's here, the company I am working with, has a tie up for its internal certifications with PMI, so there are several courses for our employees after completing them people earn 15, 20 or 25 PDU's also but this is not an option for others who are not working in the company that I work for. Well here is a site that I came across you can earn 15 PDU's straight without spending a single penny by just listening to their project management courses.
http://www.thepmpodcast.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=51...
Have a look at yourself at the aforesaid site, incase if you come with something please post it here, will be beneficial for all :)

Hello Everyone: I forgot
Hello Everyone:
I forgot to mention that after earning 60 PDU's in your CCR, you also need to submit a fees of 60$(for PMI Members) and 150$ (for non-PMI members) , so in a nutshell you need 60 PDU's + the aforementioned fees.

Earning Free PDUs.
Hi Sujit,
Here I am sharing some of the sources where you can earn free PDUs. Take Scrum Fundamental Certified course offered by SCRUMstudy.com. This is a free online course which will help you earn 10 PDUs. The other source is Six Sigma Yellow belt certification offered by 6sigmastudy.com. This course is also free and will help you earn 8 PDUs with this course. So, in total you will earn 18 PUDs for free from these 2 sources. The other courses which will help you earn PDUs are mentioned on PMstudy.com website. Hope this information helps you.

Hi Mateusz
Thanks for the information. I was targetting 15 PDUs for self study, 15 for Project Management (5 PDUs a year) and the rest 30 through conducting classes in my office for PMP aspirants. Every 3 months we have 40 - 50 people being trained for PMP so thought of cashing in on it. Nevertheless this is a very valuable information and will help me to achieve our goal of 60 PDUs easily.

HOW 60 PDU'S????
@shirman,
You have to earn these 60 PDU's and they are excluded from the 35 PDU's earlier.
The 35 PDU's are for the Exam requirements and they are burnt as you give the exam.
Kind regards,

What books to read
Hi Imran,
SDL?
I don't think with reading books you can claim your PDU's (I will double check again).
For PDU's:
1: Either you attend the Local Chapter Seminar's etc and they give you the Code's to submit it in PMI for your PDU's and each seminar normally worth a couple of PDU's.
2: Listen to the Free Podcast's that are offered by many organizations.
3: PMI itself also offer's PDU's by attending there Seminar's and also with there Pocast's (Not Free).
These Three quickly came in my mind, If you are interested then I will try to write all the means and places where you can get your PDU's.
Kind regards,
