About the Program

Maximizing your PDUs

You’re a PMP.  Maybe you’ve even been one for almost three years, which means you’re about to face the re-certification deadline.  Or you’re just getting started and have several years to go before you recertify.  Mark Buchholz will review the PMP re-certification requirements and discuss how you can maximize your opportunities.  We’ll discuss how to get the most out of employment, training, conferences and volunteering opportunities to get the PDU you need well within the three year window set by PMI.
