Why does Udemy show the course as only 7.5 hours?
Udemy measures course length based only on video content duration. My course currently contains 7.5 hours of video lectures, which is why Udemy displays this number on the course page and certificate of completion.
I designed the course this way because I truly value your time. Instead of filling the videos with repetitive wording to make them artificially longer, I made the content concise and to the point. This way, you stay in control of your time — if you want to repeat or review something, you can always pause or go back to the video as needed.
Why does PMI recognize it as 35 PDUs?
PMI does not count only the video playback time when considering Professional Development Units (PDUs). Instead, PMI looks at the total learning effort involved in completing the course, which includes:
Watching all lectures
Completing chapter quizzes and knowledge checks
Taking the full-length practice exam in “exam mode”
Repeating practice simulations and reviewing explanations
Studying additional reference material provided
When all these activities are combined, the learning effort is equivalent to 35 contact hours, which meets PMI’s requirement for exam eligibility.
Why two types of certificates?
The Udemy completion certificate is automatically generated by Udemy and only reflects the course’s video duration (7.5 hours).
The separate certificate issued directly by me (melhout@mohamedelhout.com) confirms 35 PDUs / 35 contact hours, as designed for PMI eligibility. This certificate takes into account the entire course structure, not just lecture length.
