    Hello,

    I don't think so. PMI have their own seperate exams, although it would be worth calling them direct to check

    Hi,

    You mentioned that you have completed the MS Project 2007 certification. Did you take any instructor led training to prepare for these exams? In my understanding, you don’t earn PDU just for passing an exam but if you have taken any class/training to prepare for this certification, that certainly qualify you to earn PDUs.

    PMI recognizes relevant educational activities or programs offered by organizations not registered with PMI. Use the following formula to calculate the number of PDUs earned: One hour of learning relevant to project management within a structured activity or course equals one PDU.   

    So a one day of Project Management related training can give you 7 to 8 PDU’s.

    Hope this is helpful.

    Hi PMPtrain,

    I used
    MCTS Self-Paced Training Kit: Managing Projects with Microsoft Office Project 2007 (Exam 70-632)
    by Joli Ballew and Deanna Reynolds 
    Microsoft Press © 2008 

    and for things that weren't explained that well in this book I used

    Microsoft Office Project 2007 Inside Out
    by Teresa S. Stover and Bonnie Biafore 
    Microsoft Press © 2007

    And of course a lot of hands-on experience will help you pass this exam,

    Good luck!
