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

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

1. Mandatory assignments and tests: Tests and assignments are mandatory on Udemy, making it difficult for many individuals to complete the course. Many people enroll in Udemy 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.
   • Difficulty of the material: The material covered in the assignments and tests may be challenging, which can be 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 Udemy, 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 Udemy course and later need to provide documentation of your PDU activities for a PMI audit. In that case, it is important to be aware that Udemy may not provide support for this process. You will be responsible for gathering and organizing all of the necessary documentation and ensuring that it meets the requirements for the audit. If you are considering a Udemy course and are concerned about the potential lack of support for the PMI audit process, you may want to consider earning PDUs through other organizations that support this process.

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

4. No Udemy PMP 60 PDU bundles : – There are no packs or bundles available for you. 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 Udemy courses may not meet the same standards as courses offered by other organizations that are 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 Udemy that are eligible for PDUs is less than those offered by other organizations.
7. Reporting requirements: It may be more time-consuming to report PDUs earned through Udemy courses. You will need to provide additional documentation to the PMI to demonstrate that you have completed the course.
8. Cost: Some Udemy courses may be more expensive than courses offered by other organizations that PMI approves to provide PDUs. Usually, the Udemy PMI PDU courses are more expensive, with some of the courses costing around 5$ for one PDU.

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 Udemy 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, that are unavailable through Udemy courses.
11. No accreditation: While completing a Udemy 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 Udemy 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 Udemy course with mandatory assignments and tests before deciding.
