Earning PDUs and Elevating Your Skills with MoPA Training Courses and Special Offers

Have you ever wondered how you can stay ahead in your project management career while fulfilling your certification requirements seamlessly?

Project management is not a passive career; continuous professional development is not just a recommendation—it’s a necessity. The dynamic nature of global markets, technological advancements, and emerging project management methodologies demand that professionals stay ahead of the curve. One of the most effective ways to achieve this is by earning Professional Development Units (PDUs) through comprehensive training programs. As a premier PM Training provider and a PMI Approved Provider, Master of Project Academy (MoPA) offers an extensive suite of courses designed to enhance your competencies while fulfilling your certification requirements.

Understanding the Critical Role of PDUs

The PMI Continuing Certification Requirements Program

The Project Management Institute (PMI) mandates that certified Project Management Professionals (PMPs) earn 60 PDUs every three years as part of the Continuing Certification Requirements (CCR) program. This initiative ensures that PMPs maintain and enhance their knowledge and skills, aligning with the evolving standards of the profession. Being PMI Approved with instructors who are PMI-certified, MoPA’s courses are pre-approved to contribute towards these PDUs, simplifying the process for you.

The PMI Talent Triangle

PDUs are categorized under the PMI Talent Triangle, which encompasses three key areas:

1. Ways of Working (Previously called Technical Project Management Skills): Skills related to specific domains of project, program, and portfolio management.
2. Power Skills (Previously called Leadership): Abilities to guide, motivate, and direct a team.
3. Business Acumen (Previously called Strategic and Business Management): Expertise in industry knowledge that enhances performance and better delivers business outcomes.

Earning PDUs across these areas ensures a well-rounded skill set, positioning you as a versatile and effective project manager.
