PCUs can be submitted throughout the 2 year term of certification or all at once during recertification. Each activity submitted for PCU credit will need to be submitted electronically through your RMCP® Dashboard.
Click below to log into the RMI website and access your RMCP® Dashboard. Please note, first time RMCP® Dashboard users can access the Dashboard User Guide for instructions.
You will need to describe how each activity is related to the RM profession – the RMCP® Resource Center can help. If we cannot tell an activity is RM-related, we may ask you to send more details. In the event we select you for a random audit, be prepared to submit supporting documentation, such as:
- transcript or grade report indicating a passing mark
- copies of sample educational materials, course agendas, or publications
- certificate or evidence of attendance
- evidence of your work or learning project
