Episode Summary

There is a decent chance your employer has already paid for your next 14.5 PDUs. You just have not claimed them.

My course Artificial Intelligence for Project Managers has been added to the Udemy Business collection. If your company subscribes to Udemy Business, that course is already sitting in your account: 14.5 hours of video, 14.5 PDUs toward your PMI credential renewal, and a certificate of completion when you finish. No purchase, no expense report, no approval needed.

Udemy Business is a curated library rather than the full Udemy catalog, so only a fraction of courses are included and it is worth knowing which ones your company's subscription actually covers. This is one of them. Plenty of companies hold a Udemy Business subscription without making much noise about it, so the first step is simply finding out whether you have access.

How to Find Out in 30 Seconds

• Check whether you have access - Enter your work email address and Udemy will send you a login link for any account tied to it: Check your Udemy Business access
• Search for the course - Once you are logged in, search for Artificial Intelligence for Project Managers, or simply search for Fichtner. Udemy Business searches only course titles, subtitles and instructor names, so searching for "AI" buries the course under thousands of results.
• Press play - 14.5 hours of video, 14.5 PDUs, and a certificate when you finish.

About the Course

This course is not about typing better prompts into ChatGPT. It is about becoming AI literate: understanding what these tools actually do, where they fit into the way you run projects, and what that means for how you lead.

No Udemy Business at work? The course is also available as a regular purchase, and many companies will cover it from a training budget: Artificial Intelligence for Project Managers on Udemy

My other courses, including the PMP and CAPM exam prep courses, the exam simulators, Mastering Business Analysis and the project leadership interviews, are not part of the Udemy Business collection (yet). They are available on Udemy as individual purchases.
