Hi VinH, you will need to check with training organisations to confirm about PDUs, but the Foundation syllabus requires 18 hours of study which is what they will be based on. If you study using an accredited online course you will receive proof of completion, but if you self-study you will need to register the claim yourself. The current Foundation exam is the 2011 syllabus - this is an update to version 3. It's similar, but there are some changes. And finally, if you read the other threads there are lots of recommendations - from free resources to books to training. Good luck! Claire
