I'm looking into the PMP certification as the de-facto standard for PMs in my organisation. I am am a member of the PMI and have found the experience most valuable - and I am looking forward to having some time to study for my PMP! I do have a slight concern however over the PDU's (Professional Developement Units). I wonder how others have found maintaining the 60pdu's a year? I have read the PMI documentation etc, but from what i understand the majority of points are allocated to speaking at conventions or authoring books - neither of which I willbe doing in the forseeable! Of course you can earn PDUs by attending chapter meetings etc - but this is not convenient for me as I am based in Scotland - and the UK chapter only runs meetings in London!
So, any real life stories/reassurance you can give me on mainting the PMP (assuming i get there!)? Saving Changes...
If you are looking for online training, I would recommend Career Academy (http://bit.ly/2fnjzjJ) for PMP and CAPM training and exam prep courses. They have a good price for their annual membership and they are PMI Registered Education Provider (REP). Career Academy is an institution that offers online on-demand video-based learning solutions for IT Networking, Cyber Security, Project Management and Office Professionals. You can prepare for the certification exams by taking courses from Career Academy. Saving Changes...
I am looking for a spreadsheet in which I can track my PM hours for my certification. I haven't been able to find any. Can someone point me int he right direction?
