 Quoted from PMI's PMP Passport December 2008 - Suggestions for PDUs :

Here are some suggestions of professional development activities that extend beyond geography and budget. Review the CCR Handbook for all PDU categories and maximum limits.

• Everyday Job Activities. Professional project management experience (Category 2H) can award 5 PDUs per year for a possible total of 15 PDUs per three-year cycle.
• Reading Relevant Material and Interviews with Subject Matter Experts. Self-directed learning (Category 2 SDL) can award up to 15 PDUs per cycle for activities such as reading books on the project management topic of your choice.
• Courses, Seminars and Web-based Training. Project management training (Categories 3 and 4) can award unlimited PDUs
