The Project Management Podcast - Reporting PDUs? Omit Numbers in the Title

https://www.pm-podcast.com/pdu The Project Management Institute (PMI) has introduced a new validation rule in the Continuing Certification Requirements System (CCRS) self-reporting form that automatically treats any number in the activity title as a PDU claim code. When the rule is triggered, for example by “Episode 525 - The Unofficial Project Manager” or “PMO Symposium 2025,” the form displays an error and blocks submission until the title is edited. This affects all self-reported learning activities whose names contain digits. *Follow these steps to submit your Project Management Podcast PDUs without triggering the error: * - Log in to your PMI CCRS account. - Select *Report PDUs* › *Online or Digital Media*. - Type “Project Management Podcast” as the provider and click outside the dropdown. - Paste or type the episode title, then delete any numbers (for example, change “Episode 525 - The Unofficial Project Manager” to “The Unofficial Project Manager”). - Enter the remaining details (dates, PDU totals, description) and submit the form. Although not mentioned in the video, we understand PMI’s intent: some practitioners mistakenly use the self-report form when they actually have a PDU claim code. A targeted validation that flags strings resembling real claim codes, usually a fixed eight-digit sequence, would address that issue without blocking every title that contains a simple number. We hope PMI refines the rule so customers can record PDUs quickly and accurately.
