Paying too much
You already know that the costs of obtaining the PDU’s you need to maintain your PMP certification are high.
There should never be a reason why you should lose money because there is not a better way available to you.

Current models are costing you
There is always a time when a shift occurs and exposes the cost of sticking with existing or outdated ways.
The existing channels to obtain PDU’s are no longer cost-effective to you. They are costing you money. And remember, every year these costs continue increasing and could put maintaining your certification out of reach.

Time away from work and projects
You know that taking time away from work simply adds more pressure and costs into the mix.
Can you afford being away from your projects?

So, isn't it time for a model that ...
We have developed a model that will give you all of this

This is what you get.
Massively reduced costs to maintain your certification

No Increases in year 2.
But we take this a step further. The CPD Membership you pay in your signup year remains locked for your 2nd year. No increases.
Year 3
Annual increases from year 3 will be based on your original tier price, so your initial membership level continues to pay ongoing benefits to you.
What if I want out?

We have that covered too.
Because we know life can sometimes throw curve balls, and therefore you may need to roll with the punches, you can pause your membership at any time – without losing your member tier status.**
** (Conditions apply, such as re-joining at the annual cycle you would have been when stopping. Annual increases apply)

Your membership tier is always yours
This means you can re-join at any time, on your original Tier membership level. This is because your VIP-Membership status remains yours forever.

WHAT YOU GET FOR BEING A CPD MEMBER
Ever year you have a wallet saving low membership fee. Your membership gives you immediate access to a baseline 20 PDU’s worth of courses, materials, and events for the year.
But we are not that rigid and definitely not prescriptive. You have choices to suit your needs.

What if I want to do more than 20 PDU’s in a year?
We have this covered. You are not limited to 20 PDU’s in each year. You will have access to additional PDU’s simply by paying for the additional courses you want to take. The PDU’s for each course are then added to your PDU total for the PMI stipulated period.
But what about my membership fees for the following year if I paid for more PDU’s in this year?
The additional PDU’s will be offset against your next 12 month cycle period. What this means is the offset purchases will be discounted from your following year subscription.**

SAVING YOU TIME AND EFFORT
Your focus, time, and energy is on managing your projects. But getting your PDU’s to retain that all important certification you have is just as important. The art is in balancing it all.
FLEXIBILITY
You have options that can suit your PDU needs

Life has a way of interrupting the best plans.
So you have a number of options available to you that will give you flexibility within your membership, and how you go about managing your PDU’s no matter the circumstances you find yourself having to navigate.
(Find out more in the FAQ section )
ANYWHERE, ANYTIME, ONLINE.
It’s your time. Choose when you want to engage with the materials, and how much.

Because the courses are online, you can access your course materials any time, and from anywhere.
Courses are designed so you can pause, stop, and restart as it suits you. There are no lengthy segments that cause you to lose touch of where you last left off.

When anyone you refer to us becomes a member, we will credit R 200 against your following year membership fee.

This is the right place for you to find these answers.
(PS; If you still cannot find what you are looking for, you can use the Contact Us option and we will get back to you.)
WHAT IS THE NO OBLIGATION APPLICATION ABOUT - How does this work?
When you apply for a VIP membership, you can do so without any obligation. There is no commitment and no payment if you choose not to go ahead and subscribe.
When you apply, we will send you a welcome email which informs you of the member tier level available to you, and what the member fee is.
We will hold your application and invite for 3 days.
Within these 3 days, if you decide to go ahead with your membership, you can electronically transfer your membership fee and forward us payment confirmation. As soon as the payment has cleared, your membership tier status will be locked in, and you can begin accessing the courses and events to earn your PDU’s.
Please note that once the 3-day holding period has expired, and you have not opted to take up the membership, we will place the membership tier back into the availability pool and it will no longer be held exclusively for you..
WHEN DOES MY MEMBERSHIP CYCLE START?
Your VIP membership starts on the date that we receive confirmation of payment. This date is your annual cycle period.
An example: If your initial membership date is 1 December 2021, then your new annual cycle for each year going forward will begin on the 1st of December each year.
TELL ME MORE ABOUT THE REFERAL INCENTIVE
We all tend to refer or recommend something which has worked for us to others.
This is something we see as you adding value back to us, and for this we want to give you something in return. The referral incentive is a payback that you will receive in the year following the referral.
You will receive a once-off credit of R 200 for each person you refer to us who signs up as a member.
The referrals credits will be capped at your membership tier subscription value. Example: If you are Tier 3 which is an annual subscription of R 2,450, the maximum referral credit you can accrue is R 2,200 (This is 11 people referred and subscribed).
IF I AM NOT GETTING WHAT I EXPECTED, CAN I GET MY MONEY BACK?
Absolutely. We strive to provide value and quality, and if we fall short of this, we are prepared to put our money where our mouths are.
There is a satisfaction money-back guarantee (within your first year) if you are not satisfied with what you are getting.
GENERAL T&C's
- There is a 2-year price lock on all membership levels. This is in place from your initial membership date.
- Year 3 annual increases are set at 6%. We want to keep it at this level, so keep your fingers crossed that the global economy plays ball.
