Here's how it works
Order The PDU Podcast
Start by ordering your subscription to The PDU Podcast. Select either the monthly payment or yearly payment to receive a webinar every month. And if you need a lot of PDUs right now then you can buy a whole year's worth of PDUs with a one-time purchase.
Add it to Your App
The PDU Podcast comes with your personalized subscription link. Simply copy/paste this link into the podcast app on your phone or tablet and you can now access the webinars from anywhere. (See the Technical Specifications section below for recommended apps.)
This step is not required to watch the webinars on your computer.
Watch Your First Webinar
Just press play on your phone, tablet or computer to watch your first webinar and start earning PDUs.
Each webinars is divided into several modules of 20-30 minutes in duration. In this way you can break up your learning over several sessions if you like.
Download Your PDU Certificate
You'll also receive a username and password to download your monthly PDU certificate. However, it is required by PMI® that you must take an assessment first.
So you'll have to answer 3-4 basic questions about the webinar before you can download the certificate. But don't worry. So far, every single person received their certificate on the first try.
Claim Your PDUs
Armed with your PDU certificate you can now visit PMI's Continuing Certification Requirements System and claim your PDUs.
Repeat
In 30 days a new webinar will automatically be ready for you. Simply watch it, download the PDU certificate, and then claim your next PDUs.
If you purchased a whole year's worth of webinars at once, then all twelve webinars will be available to you right after the purchase. So no waiting at all.
Like we said above: Yeah... it's as easy as that!
Our PMI CCRS Rating is Four and Five Stars
Whenever you submit a PDU claim in the PMI CCRS online system, you are required to select a rating on a scale from one to five. All PDU Podcast webinars have received an average of four and five stars!
