This is cool, how do we earn cpe credits for the podcasts? Do they automatically show up? I don't see a sign in that links anything to my isc2 account.

@jiggawhat

You'll need to self-report these. The podcasts are not automatically added like our (ISC)2 hosted Webinars found here: https://www.isc2.org/News-and-Events/Webinars. If you need more ideas, you can find other opportunities for CPE credits (like our Professional Development Institute courses) here: https://www.isc2.org/Membership/CPE-Opportunities

Awesome! Thanks for sharing @tmekelburg1! There are plenty of opportunities to meet your CPE requirements (for many certifications) throughout the year!

Andrea,

What if myself and a fellow CISSP are publishing podcast episodes for the rest of the Cybersecurity community to consume? How do we earn CPEs based on creation of such content?

Hi,

Thank you for sharing. How many CPE's can be earned for participating in a podcast? I have participated in a podcast about IoT Security but find it hard to find how many CPEs I have earned.

The formal rule is 1 CPE per hour of activity related to one or more of the domains for your certification. In practice you can file in quarter-CPE increments, so it really is 1/4 CPE for every 15 minutes.

Must the CPEs for a podcast be uploaded on a per-episode basis, or can I group them together in some way? For example, this week I listened to:

SANS Internet Stormcenter, 7 episodes for .5 CPE hours (3:04-7:19 ep duration)
Risky Business, 2 episodes for 1 CPE hour (26-39 min eps)
RB News, 6 episodes for 1 CPE hour (5-17 min eps)
Security Now, 1 episode for 1 CPE hour (67 min ep)
Control Loop, 1 episode for .25 CPE hours (20 min ep)
Caveat, 2 episodes for .75 CPE hours (23 min eps)

That's 4.25 CPE hours across 19 episodes and it would be great to capture them all, but SANS and RB News are just too cumbersome. Is there a way to capture these CPEs without making 19 uploads? Can podcasts with <15 minute episodes even contribute to CPEs?

I do not have an "official answer", but in my mind it comes down to how you would defend against an audit and ensuring the attached evidence aligns with the rest of the record.

I attended a conference that auto-submitted, which resulted in one entry for the entire conference, as opposed to one per session, so there is precedence for batching related items together. In that case, I would look for a viewing history or similar to document the time spent.

Can podcasts with <15 minute episodes even contribute to CPEs?

ISC does state in their webinars that you must watch 46 minutes for them to auto-credit you for 1 hour, so there is precedent for "rounding up". Using that logic, I suppose one could submit 15 minutes for a 1 minute podcast, but I personally feel it more defensible to round to the nearest 15 minutes and bunching a few together if needed.

The other thing to realize if that one only needs about 3/4 a CPE per week (40/year), so if the list is your normal cadence you can afford to ignore those that are too much work to document.

@vmanning - We would recommend uploading each podcast separately. By episode is ideal, so that you can provide a summary of the episode and what you learned from it. But, if there are several episodes in a series from one show, you can upload those all together as a single "activity." Each hour = 1 CPE credit, and .25 CPE credits (aka 15 minutes) is the shortest amount of time you can submit for credit. Thanks!
