Study

A new way to earn Professional Development Hours (PDH) for new product development professionals (NPDP), project management professionals (PMP), and engineering managers (PEM).

Earning PDHs is simple. Choose your course, register, and start earning credits now. Each course includes:

Documentation, such as tip sheets, notes, and/or self-assessments
Interactive learning modules, including reading materials, videos, and audio
Practice test that you can attempt as many times as you like
Final test to formally assess and document your continuous learning in your profession
Completion certificate that you can save, download, and print

Most courses are structured into several lessons that present basic definitions, terms, and theory for each subject. Many lessons contain additional topics that help certification candidates study the material in depth. Topics and lessons within PDH courses are designed to meet the formal and stringent requirement of PDMA, PMI, and ASEM for continuing education; therefore, most courses require viewing each lesson or topic based upon the average reading speed of adults in a learning environment (about 200 words per minute).
