If I take online courses in the subject matter of my profession will that count towards PDUs?

I'm in the Renewable energy field, developing and managing solar energy projects. I want to take a battery energy storage system and hybrid storage system course on udemy (or through other online providers). 

Would I be able to use these hours towards my PDUs? If yes, how would they break down between the different categories (ways of working, power, business acumen)?

Yash, if some of the content is related to Project Management, you can estimate how many hours are applicable to Project Management and use your best judgment to allocate those hours to the different categories on the Talent Triangle. Once you’ve completed this task offline, you can manually report and claim those PDUs via your PMI account, but only if you already hold a PMI certification. If you don’t have a PMI certification, you won’t be able to claim PDUs, as they are used for certification renewal.
