Welcome to the OPI’s Professional Development Unit Provider System

The Professional Development Unit Provider System (PDUPS) is used by approved professional development (PD) unit providers to record professional development activities for Montana licensees as authorized under the Administrative Rules of Montana (ARM) 10.57.215 PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT AND RENEWAL REQUIREMENTS and 10.57.216 APPROVED PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT AND RENEWAL ACTIVITY. Organizations wishing to offer professional development activities for the award of professional development units must receive approval from the Superintendent of Public Instruction prior to offering activities. The status as an approved provider will continue as long as the provider is in compliance with the Administrative Rules of Montana pertaining to professional development unit activities. Decisions of the Superintendent of Public Instruction on matters of professional development unit activity or provider status may be appealed to the Board of Public Education pursuant to ARM 10.57.603 HEARING IN CONTESTED CASES.
