Have you claimed PDU from non REP?

Rami, actually, I did contact Udemy and the course owner said that it is costly for them to pay fees to get registered as education provider with PMI and said you can claim the PDU.
However, it is only 9.5 PDU so I wouldn't risk it, I have other courses and they are REP and they have proper code. I have bought other courses for general knowledge but you know they are not claiming PDU for it so it is more transparent and it is your choice to buy or not.

Jaleel, I don't like the hustle and bustle of getting into that.

Sante, thanks for pointing that out I just trusted that when they mention this course you can claim pdu I thought they would be a registered but again we deal with assumptions in the project, this is lesson learnt / next time I will look for that REP number.

Andrew, I am glad that you understand my concern, as really there is no urgent need to submit something might not go so smooth like the REP, I will choose avoid for that risk.

I thought the same as well because you can read a book ( related to PM, Leadership, management) and you can still claim it

Kiron, I appreciate your comment and it might goes well but as you have mentioned that the validation process surely would not be simpler as the REP course, so there is a small percentage of risk there and I have chosen to use "Avoid"

I am not sure what the purpose of the PDU’s are (Certification Renewal or New Certification Application?). In both cases, I see no problem like I mentioned earlier but it seems like it is a personal preference for you so if you have another course coming up soon, then that should be finecbut in general and for future to answer your concern, there is no oroblem even if auditied like Kiron said, REP is not the absolute measure.

Something you have to keeo in mind, audits are generated randomly so even if you fill in hours from an REP, you might still be audited so your odds of being audited with or without the REP, are exactly the same.
