Earning and logging CPE

Members earn 4 CPE a month automatically. Log anything else yourself, with proof, for review.

Members earn 4 CPE a month automatically

Active Club members get 4 CPE hours added to their transcript every month for their Club learning: long-form articles, live Q&As, recordings, labs, or Academy courses. There is nothing to submit. The entry appears on your CPE transcript as "Club learning" for that month.

Log other CPE yourself

For learning outside the Club (webinars, conferences, external courses, talks you give), go to /cpe/submit and enter:

  • Title of the activity.
  • Provider (optional).
  • Hours. Up to 40 per submission.
  • Date you completed it.
  • Proof. Required. An image or PDF such as a certificate of attendance or a screenshot.

Every submission is reviewed by the Club team before it counts. Your CPE transcript shows each entry, its review status, and your total for the last 12 months.

Using Club CPE with ISC2, ISACA, IAPP, or GIAC

Self-report the hours to your certifying body; each body sets its own rules for what it accepts. The Club is not an accredited CPE provider.

For hours earned by completing an Academy course, download the CPE letter from your certificate card. See your certificate.

CPE and renewing your Club certificate

CPE is one of two ways to qualify for renewal. See Renewing your certificate.
