O’Reilly training hours valid for CPE?

Hi all 👋,
I’m thinking about getting a subscription at O’Reilly (https://www.oreilly.com/), a learning platform with lot’s of courses and learning paths containing also several subjects concerning information security.
I asked them about certificates of completion. They don’t provide them, but they told me that many organizations consider O’Reilly content as valid training hours for submitting as CPE credits.

My question: can I use O’Reilly content for CPE credits? Does someone have experience with this?

Thanks in advance and best regards,
Richard Wester.

Any learning activity pertaining to the domains of your certification(s) can be used to earn group A CPEs.

If they don't provide certificates of completion, just keep your own records / notes that are good enough to prove you've undertaken the learning activities if faced with an audit - I'm sure a platform like that likely keeps track of your course progress whether they provide certificates or not.

Thanks for your reply! I’ll create my own records, just to be sure. 👍

In Pluralsight they keep track of your activities and it shows what you did, how long it took and on what date you did it. Basically all you need as evidence.

I assume (and I know I shouldn't) that something similar is available in O'Reilly.
