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.

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
