How to Claim PDUs After CSM & CSPO Training (2026 Guide) | Step-by-Step for PMP Renewal

Claim PDUs after CSM and CSPO workshops with steps from MSAgileMed 2026

Right now, agility shifts faster than ever – certificates can’t keep up unless skill growth never stops. Skill updates matter most when change refuses to slow down.

If You Recently Earned Your CSM Or CSPO Through MSAgileMed There Might Be An Extra Benefit Few Notice

Claiming PDUs might help keep your PMP or PMI-ACP active. These units come from learning activities approved by PMI. Renewal often depends on how many you collect over time. Each certification has its own rules about totals needed. Think of it as tracking progress through ongoing training.

Starting at the beginning, this clear walkthrough covers each part of the system, moving into how claims work bit by bit. Because these job perks matter, knowing every stage helps avoid gaps. From first steps to final actions, it lays out what happens when you apply. Miss a detail? That could mean losing something useful later.

Understanding PDUs Simply

Pacing your growth in project work? The PMI counts it through PDUs – short for Professional Development Units. These units follow what you learn, plus how you add to the field’s knowledge. Learning keeps score here, not just time spent.

Simple Meaning:
  • 1 hour of learning = 1 PDU
PDUs Go Beyond Time

Your dedication shows up in how you show up

  • Continuous learning
  • Skill enhancement
  • Staying updated with Agile & project trends

Types of PDUs Available

Some PDUs fall into one group. Others belong to a different type

1. Education PDUs Most Relevant for You

Points come your way by doing certain tasks

  • Training programs (like CSM, CSPO)
  • Workshops & seminars
  • Webinars & online courses

Making progress through MSAgileMed’s Scrum course counts here.

2. Giving Back PDUs

You Can Also Earn PDUs By

  • Teaching or mentoring
  • Creating content (blogs, videos)
  • Volunteering in projects

PDUs Help Your Career Grow

Surprisingly few workers take PDUs seriously – yet these units quietly shape lasting career paths. Though often overlooked, their influence builds steadily over time.

Key Benefits:

 1. Certification Renewal

PMI certifications like:

  • PMP
  • PMI-ACP

Every three years, you need sixty learning units. That total must be met on schedule.

 2. Career Growth

PDUs help you:

  • Always keep up when working with Agile or managing projects
  • Improve practical knowledge
  • Increase job opportunities

 3. Industry Credibility

Recruiters prefer professionals who:

  • Continuously learn
  • Maintain active certifications

Claiming PDUs for Scrum Certifications?

Yes, 100% 

Though certs such as:

Though provided by Scrum Alliance, these count as approved training hours. Recognition remains even when logging them through PMI’s Education section.

How Many PDUs Can You Claim?

A rough guess from MSAgileMed sessions goes like this:

Course Duration PDUs You Can Claim. CSM 2 Days 14–16 PDUs. CSPO 2 Days 14–16 PDUs. A-CSM Advanced 16–20 PDUs. A-CSPO Advanced 16–20 PDUs.

How many PDUs you get ties directly to how long the training runs.

How to Earn PDUs Follow These Steps

Here is how it works, step by step. Look at it like sorting blocks by size. One thing fits after another, without rush. See each part before moving on. Think of it as cooking with few ingredients.

Education Courses and Training

Most folks overlook how tightly Scrum learning ties into schooling – it just does. A classroom shapes understanding, much like workshops shape methods. Learning happens where structure meets curiosity. Training sticks when it feels less like a lecture, more like discovery. Schools build minds. So do these sessions.

By the close, attendees stand ready to step into the Scrum Master role within fast-moving team settings.

For CSPO Certified Scrum Product Owner
