What Are CPE Credits?
Continuing Professional Education (CPE) credits are required by ISC2-certified professionals to demonstrate ongoing learning and professional development. These credits help ensure that certified members stay up to date with the latest cybersecurity knowledge, tools, and best practices.
Maintaining Your ISC2 Certification Through CPE Credits:
Each CPE credit represents one hour of approved learning activity. By earning and accumulating CPE credits, learners can maintain their ISC2 certifications — such as CISSP, CCSP, CSSLP, CAP, or CC, without the need to retake qualification exams.
