As a certified Project Management Professional (PMP), you have worked hard to earn your credential. However, it’s important to remember that PMP certification is not a one-time achievement. To maintain your professional standing and stay up-to-date with the evolving project management practices, you need to have a PMP renewal certification

Why Renew Your PMP Certification?

Renewing your PMP certification demonstrates your commitment to ongoing professional development and your dedication to maintaining high standards in project management. Here are some key reasons why renewing your PMP certification is important:

1. Stay Relevant in the Field

Project management is a dynamic field that continuously evolves. By renewing your PMP certification, you ensure that your knowledge and skills align with the latest industry practices and standards. It enables you to stay relevant and competitive in the job market.

2. Showcase Continued Professional Growth

PMP certification renewal reflects your commitment to continuous learning and professional growth. It demonstrates to employers and clients that you are dedicated to expanding your knowledge and enhancing your project management capabilities.

3. Access to Global Network

As a PMP credential holder, you gain access to a vast global network of project management professionals. Renewing your certification allows you to maintain these valuable connections, exchange knowledge, and stay connected with the project management community.

How to Renew Your PMP Certification

Renewing your PMP certification involves meeting certain requirements set by the Project Management Institute (PMI). Here are the steps to renew your PMP certification:

1. Earn Professional Development Units (PDUs)

To renew your PMP certification, you need to earn a specific number of Professional Development Units (PDUs) within the renewal cycle. PDUs are a measure of your ongoing professional development activities. They can be earned through various activities, including attending project management conferences, participating in webinars, taking online courses, writing articles, and volunteering in project management-related activities.

2. Fulfill the PMP Renewal Requirements

PMI requires PMP credential holders to earn a minimum of 60 PDUs during the three-year renewal cycle. PDUs can be earned through education, giving back to the profession, and working as a professional in project management. You need to document and report your earned PDUs through the PMI Continuing Certification Requirements System (CCRS).

3. Submit the PMP Renewal Application

Once you have earned the required PDUs, you need to submit the PMP renewal application through the PMI website. The application includes documenting your earned PDUs and providing information about your professional development activities during the renewal cycle. PMI will review your application and, upon approval, renew your PMP certification for the next three years.

Tips for PMP Certification Renewal

Renewing your PMP certification can be a smooth process with proper planning and preparation. Here are some tips to help you successfully renew your PMP certification:

  • Start Early: Begin earning PDUs well in advance of your certification expiration date to avoid last-minute rush.
  • Diversify Your PDUs: Earn PDUs through a variety of activities, including formal education, self-directed learning, and giving back to the profession.
  • Track Your PDUs: Keep a record of your earned PDUs and maintain supporting documentation for easy reporting during the renewal application.
  • Stay Updated: Stay informed about changes in the PMP certification renewal process and requirements by regularly checking the PMI website and resources.
  • Network and Learn: Engage with other project management professionals, attend industry events, and participate in webinars or workshops to expand your knowledge and earn PDUs.

What Steps Do You Need To Take For a PMP Renewal?

You can track your progress through the PMP renewal process by accessing your portal on the PMI website and selecting “Continuing Certification Requirement System.” The main thing that you’ll need is to build up PDU points. Professional Development Units, or PDU, represent one hour that you spend either learning, teaching, or volunteering within your field. You can report these through this portal or review your existing PDU points to date.

Step #1 – Earn 60 PDUs Within the 3 Year PMP Renewal Cycle

In order to renew your PMP certification, you need to earn 60 Professional Development Units (PDUs), broken down into 2 categories: Education and Giving Back. You will need at least 35 of these points to go into Education; on the other hand, you cannot report more than 25 Giving Back PDU points. All points need to fall under the PMI Talent Triangle including “technical project management,” “leadership,” and “business/strategy management.” One hour is worth 1 PDU. Some of the ways you can earn PDU points include:

Earn PDU Points in Education

  • Course or Training. Online or classroom training from a registered education provider (REP) recognized by the PMI, as well as PMI seminars or events.
  • Organization Meetings. These are limited to 2 PDUs per meeting and refer to networking events or professional meetings that include education.
  • Online Digital Media. Educational references found online, such as: webinars, videos, podcasts, online training, etc.
  • Reading. Education through the written word, such as books, blogs, articles, or whitepapers.
  • Informal Learning. Learning on the job from mentors or through discussions with experts.

Earn PDU Points in Giving Back

  • Practitioner. Essentially, using what you’ve learned in projects at work.
  • Content Creator. Writing articles, blogs, whitepapers, etc., to educate others on project management processes.
  • Presenter. Sharing your knowledge as the presenter of a seminar, conference, or network event. Must line up with the talent triangle to be reported.
  • Mentor. Sharing expertise by mentoring others, teaching, or coaching.
  • Volunteer. Volunteering for PMI chapter activities or committees by registering on the PMI Volunteer Relationship Management System.

Reporting PDU Points For PMP Renewal

It’s not enough to put in the work. You will also need to report your PDUs. Under the CCRS, the “Report Links” tab will offer a form requesting the following information:

  • Provider name or ID
  • Activity name or ID
  • Activity Dates
  • PDU points claimed (1 per hour)

After filling this out, submit your points. You will receive a report that explains which PDUs were approved, claimed, or rejected. The good news for overachievers out there is that even if you earn over 60 PDU over the 3-year cycle, up to 20 points can then be carried over to the next cycle! Plus, you’ll have laid a foundation for furthering education.

You may apply for PMP renewal as soon as you have earned all 60 of your PDUs, without waiting for the end of the 3-year cycle. If you do not choose to do so, start to work towards your renewal about 90 days before the end of the cycle.

Step #2 – Fill Out the Application for PMP Renewal

As soon as you have enough PDUs, you can fill out the application for PMP renewal. This application is easy to fill out online, but you can also download it and fill it out offline. Make sure that you have your contact information, member ID, and payment information included on the application. After filling out the application, you will be asked to confirm again that you will honor the PMI code of ethics. The PMP renewal fee will be due upon approval.

Step #3 – Pay the PMP Renewal Fee

So now the question you’ve probably been wondering: how much is the PMP renewal fee? This depends on whether or not you are a PMI member. For PMI members, as of June 2022, renewal is only $60 USD. For non-PMI members who wish to renew their PMP certification, the PMP renewal cost jumps up to $150 USD.  Keep in mind that you’ll need to pay annually to renew your PMI membership if you go that route ($129 USD).

Step #4 – Wait For Confirmation From PMI of Your PMP Renewal

Once your application is posted and paid, you should receive confirmation from the PMI that it has been approved. You should also be able to see that your status is active and “in good standing” on their website. If you don’t see this, contact PMI immediately to sort things out. If your PMP renewal was incorrectly filed, your certification will be suspended for up to one year beyond the CCR cycle, which could cause a hassle for both you and your project management career.

Need help earning some of those PDU education points? Brain Sensei has you covered with their interactive and entertaining PMP exam prep courses. Even if you’ve already taken the PMP exam and earned your certification, there’s still more to learn and their material is updated every time the exam is.  They offer self-paced and live instructor courses, each of which will earn you 35 PDUs if you’re already a PMP holder (35 education hours if you’re not).  Stay fresh with your project management fundamentals and check them out today!

Of course was fantastic and the trainer was very knowledgeable about all of the topics. I would definitely take a course from this company and the trainer again.

- Rachel

The course is amazing at teaching the basics but the exams don’t match up with the PMBOK vocabulary or really the slide content. So many questions on agile project management but not even an entire section dedicated to it.

- Robbie

---

Very structured curiculum and helped me cover the whole PMP material easily in the shortest time possible. I purchased the monthly access self-paced and studied for 4 weeks only as the main source of study besides some other online full exams from different sources, then passed my PMP exam successfully. Highly recommend Brain Sensei as it's very cost effective solution compared to others, and very useful source of study. Saved me fortune and got my PMP in a very short time.

The tool is very user friendly and interactive, and i found many of the activities useful for learning. Personally i think it could include more video based explanations instead of relying so much on the user reading, to make the experience more engaging.

Due to working full time while taking this self-paced course, I took almost the entire year to finish. Once done, I spent a few weeks going over the material to prep for the test, which I passed on the first try!

We reviewed several online PMP training courses and our decision was that Brain Sensei was by far the most well structured, comprehensive, and easy to understand option. With a 100% pass guarantee! Furthermore, their support has been incredibly quick to respond and customer service oriented. Well pleased! Try their Free Trial! Easy, and what do you have to lose?

- Brian Calhoun

---

I found the content of the PMP Preparation course to be very detailed and thorough. I also greatly appreciated its attachment to a theme. I would have finished the course had I not decided to switch careers. The only improvements I can suggest are to update the website and course user interface, as it looks very old. There are also some typos within the course. Thank you!

- Geoff

---

They have a very practical learning modules that explains the basic concept of project management very well and clarifies a lot of project management terms and jargons. I found the three mock tests very helpful. I was able to pass my PMP exam on first try.

- Mohammad

---

BrainSensei has been the best approach to PMP exam training I could ask for. The experience is immersive, customizable, adaptive and really makes learning fun! Reading the story of how the founders came up with an approach to studying for this beast of an exam that wasn't so focused in the minutiae of PMI jargon, I totally get the idea behind the approach. Wish I would've discovered this earlier on in my journey.

- Nash

Quick responses and very pleasant customer service folks overall!

- Hannah De La Rosa

- Cary Schiff

It was actually really great. Made some very dry materials much easier to absorb. Passed the PMP exam with flying colors on my first attempt.

- Tim

---

This course had good reviews online from previous clients so I decided to try this one. Relevant course materials and great timed practice tests allowed me to ace the actual certification exam on my first attempt. I highly recommend this course.

- PL

This is a great tool to support the PMBOK Guide. Quizzes, presentations, and videos help break down the massive amount of information that comes with the PMBOK, truly helping you prepare for the actual exam. Great way to get your 35 hours classroom credit!

- Penney

---

I think the course is good. I wouldn't mind a few more videos and audible in the trainings. I do a lot do reading. I bought the PMBOK book on the side and sometimes have trouble connect the class to the PMBOK book. I do enjoy your format. I am learning. Personally I need buckle down and spend more time on it.

- Anthony

Brain Sensei helped me to prepare for and pass the PMP exam on the first try. I used many exam simulators and this one was by far the most similar to the exam. Im so happy I found Brain Sensei and chose to prepare with them!

I am a refugee from Ukraine. I applied to Brain Sensei with a request to provide me with a scholarship so that I could prove my skills and abilities for Europe where I am now due to the invasion of my country. The Brain Sensei team promptly responded to my request and provided the opportunity to study in their PMP course. I am very grateful to the Brain Sensei team and am happy to start learning! Thank you very much!

- Michael

I really enjoyed the Brain Sensei self learning course as well as the virtual course with the instructor. I was able to pass the PMP with above target ratings for every section. I am so pleased with how easy and efficient the courses were to navigate, and how simply the PMI approach was placed into every day situations. I would highly recommend this course to everyone wanting to either freshen up on their Project skills or to master the PMP.

Hi Folks, good course there. More info/exercises on EV and formulas would be really helpful. Thank you very much.

- Vasil

I passed my test on the first try! Excellent learning tool. There were some questions that I found to be confusing or contradictory with the answers, so I sent those to the Brain Sensei team. They always responded quickly, even on the weekend! Some adjustments are being made because of my feedback. I appreciate their care and that they take the time to support during the studying period.

- Pamla Kendrick

---

Perfect program for me. I did it at my own pace, and passed the exam with flying colors.

- Mary Garnett

---

I'm very satisfied with the Brain Sensei PMP Exam Preparation Course. All 8 Modules are very well structured and detailed. This course is best for those who would like to learn at their own pace. Of course, lots of studying is needed (PMBOOK and other agile-related books and material). The customer service team is exceptional, very supportive. I had an immediate response to whatever I needed.

- PS

This is a great course!!!!

- Darrius Cooley

---

Great training tool! I learned a lot and realized how much training I needed to learn. Now to take my exam!

- Michelle

---

Engaging, self-pacing course that contains accurate content. Prepared me well for the PMP exam which I passed on my first attempt. This course is best for those who would like to learn at their own pace. For example, I completed it over the span of 2 and a half months.

- Matthew

The course was thorough and the practice exams enhanced my learning. However, I am having a hard time receiving my PDU credit for taking the course.

- Mohmed kheir

I loved the PMP prep course and the level of learning from this. I am hoping this learning to be translated in PMP certification as well :) Another thing to mention is the very responsive support and quickest issue resolution. I had an issue with subscription expiry and they resolved it very swiftly. Thanks!

- Kamal

---

phenomenal training opportunity that provides a variety of learning styles for all.

- Anastasia

Great way to prepare for the PMP Exam!

- Matthew

---

Excellent test prep for the exam, though some more practice tests on agile would be beneficial

- eric

---

It is often hard to figure out what the right answer was on a quiz or practice exam. Frequently, the correct answer is buried in a lot of text about what options are wrong.

- James

---

The content was spot on and I am much more confident in understanding the processes and how everything works together now. (The) course is great; however, the customer service team is Exceptional! Very responsive and thorough, and at all times; and when I had some technical difficulties (or questions) they stuck with me through resolution. Highly recommended program and company.

- Daniel R

Great customer support. Wish more Agile modules were available.

It was great!

- Heide

The Course documents should remain open for longer than 6 months, given that PMI gives you 365 days to prepare for exam. Also, the option to extend visibility for the course documents, costs almost a 5th of the course, but opens up the docs for just 30 more days. Propose to extend this to 90 days at the very least.

- Vasily

---

I'm very satisfied with the Brain Sensei PMP Exam Preparation Course. All 8 Modules are very well structured and detailed. I believe that practice exams included in the course helped me a lot with the preparation for my PMP Exam. I appreciate Brain Sensei for their amazing course and for the awesome service. They responded to all my requests immediately. Thanks. Highly recommended.

- Helen Borimsky

---

The format of the prep-course is great overall and a great alternative to reading the PMBOK. Barring a few minor glitches here and there, the flow of information ensures that concepts are well understood not only from the point of examination but to the point of application in day to day professional activities. Explanations provided in the answers of prep exams (apart from the 1st one) are also a key to understanding the thought process to be applied. With the focus being on Agile approaches from 2021, the information in the course seemed adequate to cover the concepts. All the Best to all aspirants.

Studied BrainSensei for 11 days and passed. Succinct and highly informational chapters. The 4 practice exams are marginally more difficult then the PMP. Borderline impossible to fail the PMP if you pass this course.

Great course! They break down all concepts in a very clear and interactive way, that doesn't put you to sleep. Would recommend to anyone who is looking to pass the PMP exam with flying colors.

Your course, quizzes at the end of most modules and practice exams truly challenged me. I definitely derived the value and knowledge I was looking for in preparation for taking the PMP Certification Test. In particular, I appreciated the explanations that popped-up in the tests after an answer was submitted - very educational and helpful to my learning/understanding the material and concepts better. Some areas that could be improved (and some of this is nit-picking) include: * Some of the grammar and overall sentence structures, particularly in the latest set of practice exams, needs to be cleaned-up. Some were missing 'of', 'for, or had an extra 'an' in the narrative - got confusing at times. * In the practice exams, I'd like to see shorter sentences rather than the flurry of 'and' and 'or' conjunctions that made reading the sentences go on forever (had to read them multiple times to truly understand their meaning). That said, I enjoyed the overall online course taking experience and thank you for accommodating my requested time extensions. Best regards, Scott Conn

Liked it. Need access for longer though.

- Jerome

What I like best about Brain Sensei is the interactive nature of the course. I think this material would be numbing if delivered as simple lectures with slides. This method is an improvement on that. On the other hand, an in-person course, while more expensive, would likely be even more useful if you have the funds and the time. I haven't taken the PMP exam yet, so I can't comment on how useful the practice tests are.

- James

Great

- Yennyfer

The Brain Sensei PMP program is a wonderful program that condenses the PMBOK into digestible and retainable bites leveraging the power of story telling. If you're looking for a program that will get you your credit hours but also help establish a foundation of PMI knowledge this is the program for you!

- Kenny Dalen

Passed first attempt

- Lee

Truly the best course in town if you wish to pass the PMP exam on the first try. I love the idea of playing the role of the samurai and practice your project management skill in her shoes. And not to forget, the generous amount of practice exam gave me just the right dose of confidence before taking the real one. Highly recommended

- Minh Vo

---

The course was great, though I found a lot of parts hard to comprehend. I feel a lot more prepared and better skilled to manage projects in my career. Thanks, Brain Sensei.

- Jill Finkelstein

The BrainSensei PMP preparation course provided me with all the material required to be ready for the exam. It is well structured, explains the concepts clearly, and most importantly, provides ample training questions through the four mock exams and assessment questions at the end of each module. I passed the exam with Above Target in all sections on the first attempt.

- Gael Riethmuller

---

Overall I really liked this learning course. It was very helpful and allowed me to be well prepared for the exam. The 2nd and 3rd practice exam are great to give you real example questions and help prepare you for what to expect. BrainSensei's customer service was the best. I had to delay taking my test due to COVID and they extended my membership for free. They went above and beyond my expectation which was great. Only changes I would recommend is to add 1 or 2 more practice exams like the 2nd and 3rd exam and get rid of the agile practice exam. This is not a real focus of the test and therefore is not really applicable in my opinion.

- Ronnie

---

BrainSensei developed a great learning method to prepare for the PMP certification exam. Their customer service is always very professional, fast, spot on and dedicated to your success. I recommend them.

- G. Buchs

---

I've sent several emails to BrainSensei (one of them not so nice, but the rest were okay) and the team has always been so polite in answering the questions. I'm a very straight-forward person and don't like the PMI-ism type questions because they seem like 'gotchas' or traps, and this is not how I manage my team. I took the Master of Project course (which was garbage) then failed the PMP exam. Throughout the PMP exam I felt so out of touch. Even with the first practice exam on BrainSensei I felt out of place, but I am not getting the hang of things. I hope to pass the exam on the second attempt! The brain sensei experience has been *miles* ahead of the Master of Project garbage. Brain Sensei should be proud of both their product and of their team! I love getting replies to my concerns so quickly. Nice work :) !!!

I have studied with other programs and I didn’t feel prepared. After a short time with Brain Sensei, I had the confidence to succeed on exam day, which I did on the first try after studying with Brain Sensei. It was worth every penny.

Need improvement in presenting more relevant real exam type questions. The practice exams are too simple and easy and do not prepare you for the real exam. Otherwise, good concept presenting material

- Amir

The prep materials provided plenty of content which prepared me well for the PMP exam. The questions were packed with information.

- Cameron

Teaches the PMP in a solid manner, some things you need to know as a potential consumer: -The Samurai backstory is extremely short, and didn’t really assist me with recall in any in-depth way. It only gave broad brush-strokes as to what each phase entailed. -MOST of what was on the test was covered in the lessons, however if I had zero real prior PM knowledge prior to the test, I would have failed. -The first practice test forces you, as the student to actually read into the PMBOK, which was a benefit in the long run as it assisted me with quickly referencing what I needed to find. -The course will likely cover wave tops and subjects, forcing me to self-study for a week before my test... not a bad deal all things considered. -Brain Sensei’s course has incorporated Agile into one of their practice tests, and this test IS mandatory. This may seem strange, and I didn’t get a satisfactory reason why I needed to take a purely Agile test when I only wanted to take the PMP, for anyone else in this scenario, this is the reason: In June, PMI is revamping the PMP test to include Agile as a significant portion of the PMP. Brain Sensei is just ahead of the curve trying to get students prepared... fret not. Their customer service is extremely responsive and does take care of their members. My program had a couple bugs, and the customer service fixed my problems within 24 hours. All in all... it was absolutely worth the money for me.

- Kevin

I am very impressed with this learning system. The content is laid out in a way that will make any learner understand all the process groups and ITTOs in order to understand Project management and be equipped to excel in the test. The learning system is engaging and fun at the same time. It's very different than other learning material which is composed mostly of videos. Some improvements are needed, but in my opinion Brain Sensei is great value for money

At first, I was attracted to Brain Sensei training for their original learning program using a Samurai's story. And indeed it made the whole learning experience funnier - so easier. I felt like the Samurai. Then, I was amazed by The Brain Sensei Team's reactivity and help when I reached out through contact@brainsensei.com Their support was constantly reliable and efficient. I appreciated their professionalism and didn't feel on my own. At last, the course and the practice exams proved to be efficient since I passed the PMP exam - with 'Above Targe't in all Domains. So thank you so much Brain Sensei Team !! Charlene

Overall very good. Got stuck a few times trying to find resources which I should have downloaded the before starting the program. Customer service has been great.

SO far I am thoroughly enjoying the Brain Sensei PMP prep course. I have taken a Project management class as a part of my degree which I recently completed and project management has always interested me. I find the course to be educational and easy to follow. I am grateful that this course has been designed in such a way that is simple to understand all of the complexities in project management and that allows me to study at my own pace.

This review is based on completing all course work through module 102. The story and interactive nature of the course are helpful for learning and relating the material. It would be nice to have the page numbers to the PMBOK guide where references are made to it. Other information that will be helpful, are the explanations to the practice questions at the end of each module. These are provided only after immediately answering the questions. Having these available in the score summary from the 'history' tab will be helpful to refresh why the answer is correct and other options are not.

Overall I would rate this course an 8/10. I liked how there were exams towards the end of every module and I felt that it was very useful having it laid out in different scenarios. I rate it only an 8/10 as I had some glitch/software issues and lost my progress resulting in me having to re-do modules/exams multiple times. All in all, that was maybe useful in the end as it was a way for me study or 're-learn' the course material. Thank you!

A smart approach to present the information which makes it fun and engaging while at the same time preparing for the PMP exam. Brain Sensei differentiates itself from other PMP exam preps in that it delivers the knowledge through the use of storytelling technique. I recommend this course because it will help you pass your PMP exam on the first try.

Excellent course for preparing for the PMP exam in a fun and engaging way! The practice questions resemble the actual questions on the exam making it a completely worthwhile experience.

I passed the PMP exam after taking Brain Sensei's Online PMP Certification Exam Prep. The practice exam questions were so similar to the questions that appeared on the exam. On exam day, when I sat down to take the test and started running through the questions I felt so relieved! The practice exams are also timed so you get more comfortable with the exam experience and feel better prepared when you sit down to take the test. The other differentiator was the video content throughout the modules. The concepts are taught through a story of a young samurai defending her kingdom. This will probably be the only PMP prep course where you can learn all the knowledge areas and feudal Japan at the same time. I'd recommend this course not just because of the videos but because it helped me pass my exam on the first try.

Loved the unique approach and it still had all the info I'd expect from a full PMP exam prep course. Very responsive on questions too.
