Maintain your Credentials - Continuing Certification Requirements (CCR)
Once you are a PMI credential holder, you are required to participate in the Continuing Certification Requirements (CCR) program. Your certification/CCR cycle begins the day you pass the exam and/or multi-rater assessment (for PgMP credential holders) and ends on the same date three years later.
To adhere to the CCR program, you need to participate in professional development activities where you earn Professional Development Units (PDUs). PDUs are used to quantify approved professional development activities. Typically, you earn one PDU for one hour (60 minutes) spent in a planned, structured professional development activity.
Ireland chapter events all qualify for PDUs - even the networking sessions!
For more details on the requirements of the CCR see the PMI website
There is also a page of tips on how to collect PDU's
