Hello All,
Hope everyone is fine.
As a PMP certified, I need 60 PDUs to maintain my certificate validation.
I'm giving PMP training (40 hours) in a training center in Egypt.
Can I add this as part of my needed PDUs to keep certificate validation "Giving Back to the Profession PDUs" ? if so, how can I add it ? do I need evidences ?
Best Regards,

Hi Ahmad,
I believe this would be part of giving back to the community. Login to the CCRS System and add the PDU's manually. To add them, you do not need proof but in case they audit you, you need to provide evidence. Hope this helps.

In addition you can claim some of the time you took to prepare your curriculum.

Hi Ahmed,
Under giving back to the community, the maximum you can claim is 25 PDU's while under Education, you can claim the whole 60 PDU's provided that you satisfy 8 PDU's per category (Technical, Strategic, Leadership).
Chad meant that you gave a 40 Hour training (1 Hr = 1 PDU) and you can also claim and add to these the time it took you to prepare the training material.
Hope this clarifies your concerns.

so, can I add the whole 60 PDUs now ? as 40 Hours = 40 PDU's , and for sure more than that for preparation of the training itself.
or this doesn't count for the whole "Education" Category ? Saving Changes...

No need to be sorry - You can ask as much as you want and will be more than glad to answer your concerns to the best of my knowledge.
Actually, I personally believe all this efforts goes under giving back to the community so the total you can claim is 25 PDU's - You might be able to claim some under education but better contact the PMI (Chat with them live and they will answer all your concerns).

I do not think you can claim more than 5 PDUs against each training session. Your students will get all the 35 or 40 PDUs but you as a trainer, do not learn as much as your students from each session.
As far as the preparation of training material is concerned, it again can give you 5-10 PDU, only for the first time, you design this course, naturally depending on the time you really spent in preparing it all.

I have successfully claimed PDUs for PM training preparation, delivery and management. As Rami alluded to, you will be able to put time under Giving Back, as Create Content, Give a Presentation and Share Knowledge.
You will want to review the CCRS User Guide. It will provide you will all the information you need.
