Hi Von,
does "new" meaning that you want to become a PMP and are right in the beginning of your preparations for certification?
And if so, might be we are talking here not about the PDUs which are necessary to maintain your earned credentials but talking about the so called" 35 contact hours" which are needed as one of the eligible requirements, could this be?
Well if so, than please refer to the follwoing guide about how to earn those 35 contact hours:

I tend to lean towards webinars for my PDU needs (with a couple of courses here and there as time allows). For that reason, I look for things that are of interest to me personally or ones that may relate to stuff I am working on. For example, recently agile study has been a focus. Saving Changes...
