Maintaining My Credential - More than enough Free PDUs

 

I promised a quick overview of a comment posted by fellow GanttHead Simon Cleveland.  He provided me with the following link

http://www.examiner.com/x-36104-Miami-Project-Management-Examiner~y2010m4d3-How-to-Earn-60-PDUs-and-more-for-FREE-towards-your-PMP-Certification

The link is for an article on where to find free PDUs.  I went through it quickly - no more than two minutes per site on those sites I had not been to before, to see if I could find the training easily.  Here is what I found:

• International Institute of Learning - offers a number of free PDU webinars.  I have not taken any yet, but when I signed up for a couple, several weeks ago, they were at 4am my time.  I cannot speak to the quality of these classes because I don't get up that early if I don't have to.  Not all of them were that early, so I may register for more.
• Solution’s Cube Group - free webinars - (http://solutionscubegroup.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=97&Itemid=43)
• IBM’s Rational Project and Portfolio Management certification training e-kit site. I moved on because I did not find them quickly, but I am sure they are worth digging for.
• Prodevia Learning Inc’s - they offer a free introductory course on Rescuing Troubled Projects worth 5 PDUs. You have to download a PDF and then fill out an online course completion and evaluation form.  But you have to hurry if you want to do this as the class is only available until May 31, 2010.  http://www.prodevia.com/  The link to sign up for the free introductory course is on the bottom left of the page.
• Rita Mulcahy’s RMC University - numerous free webinars - http://u.rmcproject.com/forms/default.aspx

Keep in mind that I found these links through a search engine and they are only current as of the time that I post this entry.  I am not endorsing any of these products, just sharing information that you may find valuable.
