AI+ Executive™ Course – Way to Earn PDUs & Maintain PMP Certification

Introduction

Artificial Intelligence isn’t just transforming industries; it’s reshaping the role of every project leader. As AI becomes a business imperative, staying relevant means more than just renewing your PMP®. It means mastering the tools that redefine how decisions are made, projects are executed, and teams are led. 

That’s where AI CERTs comes in. The AI+ Executive™ course empowers project professionals to build real-world AI leadership skills while earning 8 PMI-approved PDUs. Designed to align with the PMI Talent Triangle, this course helps you meet recertification goals and prepare for the AI-driven future of work. 

Whether you're planning your next 60 PDUs or planning your next strategic initiative, choosing AI+ Executive™ means you’re investing in skills that matter—today and tomorrow.

Why AI Skills Matter for Project Managers

AI is no longer a niche topic for data scientists; it’s transforming every industry, and project management is no exception. According to PMI, Artificial intelligence (AI) is reshaping everything, including project management, and project professionals who invest in AI skills are best positioned for success. Recent PMI reports highlight that GenAI and other technologies are creating demand for digital transformation projects and adaptable, skilled Project Managers.  

In other words, PMs who embrace continuous learning (and certifications) are more likely to lead innovation and improve career prospects. This aligns with national priorities: the 2023 White House AI Executive Order directs the government to provide Americans the skills they need for the age of AI.

AI+ Executive™ Course: Earn 8 PDUs & Build Strategic AI Leadership

AI CERTs™ offer the AI+ Executive™ program, which is explicitly PDU-eligible, designed to fill the gap between basic AI overviews and intensive AI certifications. This 8-hour course awards 8 PDUs toward your PMP recertification. It is categorized under Education PDUs, aligning with the PMP Talent Triangle domains. The curriculum is tailored for executives and senior PMs, covering both technical and strategic aspects of AI: 

• 8 PDUs in 1 Day (8 hours) – The live virtual or self-paced course grants 8 PDUs, satisfying part of the 35-education-PDU requirement for PMP.  
   
• Comprehensive AI Content – Topics include AI fundamentals, AI development, ethical/legal implications, and managing AI projects in business contexts. Participants gain insights on AI strategy and governance. Hence, the course addresses all Talent Triangle areas: technical (“Ways of Working”), leadership (“Power Skills”), and strategic (“Business Acumen). 

Learning Formats and Features

AI+ Executive™ offers flexible learning modes to fit busy schedules: 

• Self-Paced Online – A 12-month subscription provides on-demand access to high-quality video lectures, AI e-book, quizzes like AI+ Executive™ assessment, an AI mentor (personalized guidance), and downloadable resources. You can join our complimentary AI+ Executive™ Training.  

• Instructor-Led Training – Authorized training partners run live online classes and workshops.  

Either way, attendees earn PDUs and a recognized AI+ Executive™ certificate upon completion. The course content, from AI strategy to managing AI teams, is engineered for executive understanding, not just technical demos. 

Comparing PDU-Eligible AI Programs

Several AI training options can earn PDUs, but they differ in scope and value: 

• PMI Generative AI Overview – PMI’s free e-learning grants 5 PDUs (4 Ways of Working, 1 Business Acumen). This short course is a great introduction, but it covers only basic concepts and provides fewer PDUs. 

• Cognilytica CPMAI Series – The Cognitive Project Management for AI (CPMAI) certification offers a deep AI project management methodology. Its full program yields 30–39 PDUs covering all Talent Triangle categories, but it requires a multi-day commitment and a comprehensive curriculum beyond just executive strategy. 

• AI+ Executive™ by AI CERTs – In comparison, AI+ Executive™ balances depth and efficiency. It grants 8 PDUs in one concentrated day. Unlike purely technical courses, it emphasizes strategic leadership and business alignment of AI (a gap in many offerings). Unlike very brief overviews, it provides a structured certification. In short, for busy project professionals, AI+ Executive™ delivers high-impact learning and credits in a single program. 

Overall, AI+ Executive™ stands out as a focused way to cover PDU requirements and gain strategic AI leadership knowledge. It complements technical PDUs and deep-methodology courses. 

Earn PDUs & Elevate Your AI Leadership

For PMP holders, staying current means both meeting PMI requirements and upskilling for the future.
