Question: I am both a PMP and PMI-RMP. How can I earn PDUs for both credentials?
 Answer: As a PMP you have to earn 60 PDUs and as a PMI-RMP you have to earn 30 PDUs in the specialized area of Risk Management. But don't worry! You don't need to add them up and earn 90 PDUs to cover both certificates. You just need "the right" PDUs.
The simple answer is that you have to find PDU offerings that are valid for both credentials at the same time.
If you attend a workshop on Risk Management that offers 10 PDUs that means that you earn (at the same time) 10 PDUs towards your PMP Credential and also 10 PDUs towards your PMP-RMP credential. So if you are the lucky holder of 2 or more PMI credentials focus on taking courses that offer PDUs in the specialized area and report them. The PMI's online CCR system is clever enough to apply these PDUs to all of your credentials for which they are valid. Every time you claim a PDU activity through the online system, it will automatically apply the PDUs to all credentials for which they are valid.

What You Need To Know To Recertify Your PMP Credential
Written by: Cornelius Fichtner, PMP
A project manager has to be many things. To name just a few, a PM has to be a great communicator, a leader, a visionary, and be able to both build and inspire the team. First and foremost, however, a project manager has to be proactive. We employ strategies to plan the future in order to proactively minimize risk on our projects so that we can deliver on time and on budget.
Why then is it that when November comes around you can hear a collective groan rise from the worldwide community of PMPs as they ask, where they could quickly get 20, 30 or even 40 or more PDUs before the year is through? Is this simply a case of the cobbler's children having no shoes? No. I think that this is an acute case of the PMP community not even trying to proactively understand the PMI's recertification requirements. I am writing this in May of 2008, there are seven more months in the year, and I want to help you understand how you can very easily gain all the PDUs you need before the year is through.
