Good day, I am about to take on the series of PMI courses through CSPS. There are 16 modules. How are these applicable to any of the certificates/certifications?
This is what was advertised: PROJECT MANAGEMENT INSTITUTE (PMI®) CERTIFIED LEARNING
The Canada School of Public Service is pleased to offer online project management learning series via Skillsoft Corporation, a Registered Education Provider (REP) which is certified by the Project Management Institute (PMI®) to offer training in project management and issue Professional Development Units (PDU) to meet the continuing education requirements of PMI® credential holders.

By completing these PMI® certified online modules, learners can obtain PDUs towards maintaining their professional certifications with PMI®. To obtain PDUs, complete the following steps after successfully completing a Skillsoft module identified as part of the Skillsoft PMI® Suite (please note that you must be a paying member of PMI® to be claim PDUs) :
Retrieve your certificate of completion for each of the 16 courses by visiting the completed section of your My Learning profile on GCcampus.
Go to the PMI® Continuing Certifications Requirements System (CCRS) system, log-in to your account, and report PDUs by visiting the PMI® website (This link will open in a new window) and selecting “Report PDUs on CCRS” from the Certifications tab on the main menu. You will need your Certificate of Completion from the CSPS.
Follow the prompts to report your PDUs. (Note that the PMI® Registered Education Provider should be identified as “Skillsoft Corporation Saving Changes...
The write-up refers to claiming PDUs which is done after you have earned a PMI credential. These would all be applicable, for example, to gaining PDUs for renewing your PMP, whereas some (risk related) would be applicable for renewing a PMI-RMP.
They may also be considered eligible as "contact hours" to meet the educational prerequisites of a PMI certification, but if your application was to get audited you would want to ensure there was sufficient justifiable evidence to provide that these are, in fact, "real" courses.

Fabiola,
Kiron's feedback is spot on. If CSPS are an PMI ATP then you shouldn't have a problem.

Hi Fabiola Bince, CSPS courses satisfy the PDU hours for continuing certification renewal process but they are not enough for the contact hours to submit with your certification application.
if you are familiar with Udemy there are some 35 hour courses that go regularly on sale which you can take, I took joseph phillips course and Andrew Ramadayl which were good.

While the sixteen 1-hour courses from CSPS are not sufficient, they do have the advantage of being free for federal public servants. It may make sense for Fabian to simply supplement for the remaining contact hours.

I doubt that the CSPS PDU hours will complement the 35 contact hour for the certification requirement

Why not, Ali? Skillsoft, a PMI ATP, is the course provider. The Handbook specifies you can get your contact hours from a PMI REP/ATP.
