PMI^® Re-Certification

Deepen your skills as a project manager and maintain your status as a PMP^®, CAPM^® or ACP^®!

To maintain your certificate of competence, you must demonstrate Professional Development Units (PDUs) through project management-related continuing education within a specified period of time.

These PDUs can be earned through various professional development activities in the following two areas:

• Education - learning opportunities that enable you to enhance and improve your technical, leadership or strategic and business management skills.
• Giving back to the Profession - Activities that enable you to share and use your knowledge and skills to contribute to building the profession.

There are different CCR* requirements for each PMI certification, which are described below:
