Guidance Needed: Claiming ServiceNow SPM Training as PMP PDU Credits

[UlrichA]

Hi everyone! I'm beginning my PMP recertification process and need to earn 60 PDUs within my three-year renewal cycle. Recently, I completed comprehensive training in ServiceNow Strategic Portfolio Management (SPM) and I'm investigating whether this qualifies for PDU credits.

From my understanding, PMI allows self-directed learning to count toward PDU requirements, but I want to ensure that vendor-specific platform training meets PMI's criteria. Specifically, I'm looking for guidance on:

1. How to determine if ServiceNow SPM training aligns with the PMI Talent Triangle (Ways of Working, Power Skills, or Business Acumen)

2. The process for submitting vendor-specific training through the CCRS system

3. Any experiences others have had claiming platform-specific certifications as PDUs

Has anyone successfully navigated this process with technical platform training? Any insights would be very helpful!

Thanks,
Ulrich

Hi @UlrichA 

SN doesn't support any PDU's mate.

1. How to determine if ServiceNow SPM training aligns with the PMI Talent Triangle (Ways of Working, Power Skills, or Business Acumen)

1. The process for submitting vendor-specific training through the CCRS system

Atul: No, here no PDU concept exits

1. Any experiences others have had claiming platform-specific certifications as PDUs

Atul: NO .

That is what I feared... Thanks anyway! 🙂
