I'm working as International Procurement Coordinator in Mexico, and I was wondering if is it possible to claim PDU's for attending a 180 hours language course(German), on-site (Germany). If so, how many PDUs could I claim?
Thanks! Saving Changes...
You can claim 1 PDU for each hour related to project management. If the provider is not an ATP and the class is not specifically about project management, it becomes even more important to take notes so that you can demonstrate the the material was about project management, in the event of audit. If the class is for learning German, I would not expect much of it to be about project management. Saving Changes...
The most probable is that your language course couldn't be accepted for claim PDUs, since this activity must be related to the skill areas of the PMI Talent Triangle and align with the topics and concepts outlined in the exam content outline. But you can e-mail customer care, to ask for a PMI answer directly. [email protected] Saving Changes...

Jorge, I agree with Veronica. As this is not project management related then PDU from this course most probably do not qualify as valid PDUs. Saving Changes...
No, I do not think so. Language course has nothing to do with PM.
Needless to say that your PM course could be in any languages. Saving Changes...

These PDUs are specific to PMI. The PDU claim must be within the purview of PMI. Outside of PMI cannot acclaim or append to these PDUs.

Latha, just for more clarity, even if PDUs are from a source other than PMI, you still can claim PDUs as long as they relate to Project Management and qualify. PMI do not restrict you to earn PDUs from their resources only, they do have flexibility.
