Maintaining My Credential - Clarification on Category 2H: Practitioner - Project Work Experience

 

Good news re: Category 2H.  Or at least good news for those of us who have held the PMP credential for less than a year that might have missed the information in the handbook.  GUILTY!  I checked with PMI regarding the problem I mentioned in my last post - I was unable to submit PDUs for a job where I had worked less than 6 months.  I received the following answer:

==========
If you are submitting PDU claims under this category, PMI requests that you submit a separate claim for each year they are earned.  Please be sure to enter only 1 claim per year. 

As an example:

Claim 1: January - December 2006
Claim 2: January - December 2007
Claim 3: January - December 2008

Please keep in mind, the number of PDUs to be claimed under this category is capped at five (5) per calendar year with a maximum of 15 per cycle.  When submitting the employer contact information for these PDUs, please enter the information of the employer that you worked for the longest in that particular year.  
==========

So, according to PMI, if you, like me, will have more than one employer this year just enter the company informaton for the job where you worked the longest during the year, and be sure to claim the whole year.  Or as much of it as applies.

I haven't gone back to the handbook to see if this information is there.  I'd rather just believe I missed it than go back and find proof of how easily I overlooked the information - even if it is not explained in the handbook.
