LinkedIn PMP PDU courses | All about renewing PMI PMP from LinkedIn

There are a few potential drawbacks to earning PMI Professional Development Units (PDUs) through LinkedIn courses:

1. Mandatory assignments and tests: Tests and assignments are mandatory on LinkedIn, making it difficult for many individuals to complete the course. Many people enroll in LinkedIn PMP PDU courses but cannot complete them for the following reasons.

1. • Time commitment: Completing mandatory assignments and tests can be time-consuming, especially if you have a busy schedule.
   • Pressure to perform: Some people may feel pressure to perform well on assignments and tests to achieve a high grade or pass the course.
   • The difficulty of the material: The material covered in the assignments and tests may be challenging and frustrating for some students.
   • Lack of flexibility: The mandatory assignments and tests may not allow for flexibility regarding when you complete them, which can be difficult for students with busy schedules.
   • Limited opportunities for feedback: Depending on the course, you may not have the opportunity to receive feedback on your assignments or tests, which can make it difficult to improve your understanding of the material and pass it.

At Gururo, There are No tests or exams.

2. No support: – If you do a course on LinkedIn, you are on your own. There will not be any support provided to help you understand aspects like how to claim PDUs o,r if you have any query, you will not be able to discuss it with anyone.

At Gururo, you get 24/7 support over calls, WhatsApp, and email.

3. No PMI audit support: – Suppose you earn Professional Development Units (PDUs) through a LinkedIn course and later need to provide documentation of your PDU activities for a PMI audit. In that case, it is important to know that LinkedIn may not support this process. You will be responsible for gathering and organizing all the necessary documentation and ensuring that it meets the requirements for the audit. Suppose you are considering a LinkedIn course and are concerned about the potential lack of support for the PMI audit process. In that case, you may consider earning PDUs through other organizations supporting this process.

Gururo provides end-to-end support even for PMI audits.

4. No LinkedIn PMP 60 PDU bundles: – There are no packs or bundles available. You will have to search and look for courses as per PMI guidelines and then enroll in them individually. This is a difficult process for many people.

Gururo provides multiple PMP PDU packs where you can select the courses from a PMI-approved list of courses. Some of the bundle options are 15 / 30 / 35 / 45 / 52 / 60 PDU pack

5. Quality of courses: Some LinkedIn courses may not meet the same standards as courses offered by other organizations approved by the Project Management Institute (PMI) to provide PDUs.

All courses at Gururo are of top quality, and industry experts create the content.

6. Limited options: The range of courses available on LinkedIn eligible for PDUs is less than those offered by other organizations.
7. Reporting requirements: Reporting PDUs earned through LinkedIn courses may be more time-consuming. You will need to provide additional documentation to the PMI to demonstrate that you have completed the course.
8. Cost: Linkedin charges subscription fee’s to access the courses, which is around 29$ per month. These fees are relatively high for the few PDU course options on LinkedIn.

At Gururo, you can earn a PDU at a fraction of the cost.

9. No official certification: While earning PDUs can help you maintain your PMI certification, completing a LinkedIn course will not result in an official certification from PMI or even a verifiable certificate.

At Gururo, You get a lifetime QR code verifiable certificate which you can add to your LinkedIn profile with the click of a button.

10. No access to PMI resources: As a PMI-approved provider, other organizations may offer access to additional resources, such as online communities or networking events, unavailable through LinkedIn courses.
11. No accreditation: While completing a LinkedIn course may qualify you to earn PDUs, PMI or any other organization may not accredit the course. You need to be very careful while choosing the course, as it may result in the cancellation of your hard-earned PMP credential.
12. No in-depth coverage: Some LinkedIn courses may not cover the material in as much depth as courses offered by other organizations that PMI approves to provide PDUs.

It’s important to carefully consider these potential drawbacks and weigh them against the benefits of taking a LinkedIn course with mandatory assignments and tests before deciding.
