Continuing
Education Units (CEUs)
 FMG/FMI
has been reviewed and approved as an Authorized Provider
of continuing education and training programs by the International
Association for Continuing Education and Training (IACET).
Whether or not you choose to pursue an integrated
course of study leading to a master's certificate, you
receive credit in the form of CEUs for all the FMG/FMI
classroom and e-training courses you take. CEUs are used
nationwide to maintain records of completion of organized
post-secondary education. For those of management or
other professional career paths, CEUs are widely recognized
as evidence of educational attainment.
One CEU is granted for every 10 hours of classroom participation.
Course descriptions on this Web site include CEU information for
your convenience. (Note that 1 CEU = 10 PDUs) To earn CEUs
and receive a certificate of completion, you must attend the entire
class and pass the exam, where applicable.

Professional Development Units
(PDUs)
 The Project Management Institute requires
that a PMP® earn at least 60 professional development
units (PDUs) every three years in order to maintain
certification. FMG/FMI has been reviewed and recognized
by PMI® as a Global Registered Education Provider
(provider #1204). Attendance at selected FMG/FMI
courses—including our e-training courses is
an excellent way of earning PDUs. Each hour of scheduled
classroom participation qualifies for one PDU. (Note:
1 CEU = 10 PDUs).
To report PDUs, you will need to report
them online on the PMI® website or submit a PMP
Professional Development Activities Reporting form
directly to PMI®. This information can be found
at www.pmi.org.
For online reporting, use the Quick Link "Claim/View
PDUs" provided on the PMI® Certification web
page. Once logged in, proceed by selecting "Category
3: Registered Education Provider program" from the
drop-down menu. Click "Continue" to complete online
reporting of PDUs for FMG/FMI programs. Beside the "Find
Program" button, enter 1204 in the first box for
FMG/FMI's provider ID, and the program ID for the
course attended in the second box. For a public course
program ID, use the six-letter course code as found
in FMG/FMI's catalog, web site or course confirmation
letters. Be sure to omit the hyphen (i.e. PM021001).
For an onsite course program ID (tailored courses
delivered specifically for our clients), use the
last three letters of the FMG/FMI onsite course code
(i.e. FPM). No need to be concerned if the resulting
course title displayed does not exactly match that
of the course you attended. Complete the PDU reporting
by providing the requested information on the online
form.
For PDUs earned in public courses, a list
of courses and program IDs are available for selection.
To access this list, enter "FMG/FMI" beside the "Find
Provider" button on the R. E. P. search page. Select "The
Federal Market Group/The Federal Market Institute
1204". Select the appropriate course title and program
(the six-letter FMG/FMI course code) from the program
list displayed, and provide the additional information
requested on the online form.
For assistance with program IDs or associated PDUs, contact
FMG's Office at (800) 242-9655. For more information on PMI®'s
Professional Development Program and maintenance of PMP certification,
