How to Claim PDUs for an Artisan Agility Training Event

You can PDUs for Artisan Agility Training Events where there is a clear connection to project management. PDUs can be claimed as follows (please understand that PMI® frequently changes the process and my instructions may be wrong in minor ways):

  1. Log in to PMI.org. You need to log in to the PMI website using your login credentials. Once you log in, you need to click on ‘Report PDUs’.
  2. Course or training: In the next landing page, you need to click on ‘Course or Training’ under Education.
  3. Enter “Artisan Agility” As you have taken a course offered by a third-party vendor which is not pre-approved by PMI for its PDUs, you just need to type the name of the provider into the field and do not select any provider from the list.
  4. You need to complete all the fields to provide the details for the claim is you have taken education activities offered by third-party vendors who are not pre-approved by PMI.
  5. Enter or modify the PDUs that align with the PMI Talent Triangle™
    1. You can modify the Talent Triangle PDU values for PMI-approved activities that are pre-populated in the claim form is you didn’t stay for the entire activity. You may modify Talent Triangle PDUs to values below the maximum limit for the activity.
    2. You need to manually enter PDU values under the Technical skill area if you have taken training from any third-party provider. Again, you need to enter PDU values for Leadership and Strategic skill areas manually. If you hold multiple certifications, these PDUs will automatically be shared across all your certifications.
  6. Agree: In the next step, you need to click on ‘I agree this claim is accurate’.

Training Courses Offered

Certified ScrumMaster (CSM)

This course is ideal for anyone in a leadership position who wants to simplify and streamline productivity; no prerequisite courses or experience required! By using hands-on exercises and real-world stories to teach Scrum application, our instructors ensure that students complete the course ready to immediately implement what they’ve learned. We don’t just teach Scrum, we provide the tools and motivation you need to maximize its benefits in almost any setting or organization.

Advanced Certified ScrumMaster (A-CSM)

Designed for serious leaders with at least 1 year of CSM work experience, the A-CSM course offers a level of knowledge and expertise above and beyond that of most project managers. Students participating in a live (traditional or virtual) format of this course will be required to complete 1 month of self-study via Artisan Academy prior to the course’s start date, but for students who opt to complete the full A-CSM via the Artisan Academy (OnDemand) format, this prerequisite is built into the course.

Certified Scrum Product Owner (CSPO)

The CSPO course is ideal for experienced product managers, people interested in Product Ownership, or managers of Product Owners. A portion of this course is spent introducing Scrum and its concepts, so there’s no prerequisite courses or experience required.

Jim is a fantastic instructor! The two-day Certified Scrum Product Owner (CSPO) Certification Course with him was challenging and rewarding. He had an incremental way of teaching the course that starts with the fundamentals of Agile and Scrum, perfect for beginners! I enjoyed the group projects of creating a product that helped us to get a feel for what it would be like in this space. He is passionate and super knowledgeable about these topics and cares about his students, ensuring that you understand the material. I highly recommend Jim for all your certification, training, and consulting needs!
