For formalized learning activities, the course content must be consistent with the PMI knowledge areas and processes as outlined by the PMBOK® Guide and involve appropriate expert resources. One (1) PDU is given for each hour of structured learning. Fractions of hours are accepted in .25 increments. An activity or group of related activities must be a minimum of one full hour to be accepted. Requests for PDU credits can be submitted to PMI in writing or online at www.pmi.org
