PDU FAQ

General PDU related questions

1. Does PMI-VI submit PDU claims for its members, or is it the members’ responsibility?

At this time it is the members’ responsibility to submit PDU claims for events they attend.

2. What do I need to retain to prove that I attended an event?

For audit purposes, you need to keep a record of events attended, including a description of each of the events. You also need to keep the receipts provided to you by PMI-VI for each event, including dinner meeting events.

3. When should I report my PDU activities?

PMPs are responsible for reporting all of their professional development activities, ideally as they occur.

It is up to you. However, we suggest that you submit your claims as you earn them.
