Another thing to remember about PMP PDU classes: You should not re-enrol in the same training. Two important points are actually being made here.
1-) If you have attended a PMP training, and used this training to fulfill your 35 contact hours PM education requirement for 35 contact hours, you can’t use the same training to fulfill your PDU requirements.
2-) Many training providers offer exactly the same PMP training content and PMP PDU classes. You are already PMP-certified and enrolling in new PMP training won’t improve your knowledge. The course will cover the same concepts and the same theories.
