CPE Certificate for Infosec magazine quizzes?

Cobra — Mon, 09 Oct 2023 10:14:18 GMT

Can the quiz certificate produced at the end of the Infosec magazine quizzes be returned?

I know the ePortfolio exists but this does not have any real reportable evidence of passing a quiz i can see.

I like to use the CPE cert as proof of my CPE tally on ISC and elsewhere.

Just take the quiz again. Should be pretty easy to pass the second time given that the questions seem like they would be static.

Also, you might find it helpful to get in the habit of PDFing CPE evidence and stashing it. You never know when CYA archives will come in handy.

I've already passed the quiz but you don't a certificate at the end, no matter how many times you complete/pass it.

"Also, you might find it helpful to get in the habit of PDFing CPE evidence and stashing it. You never know when CYA archives will come in handy."

That is the habit i am trying to maintain.

Results can be committed to an ePortfolio but it doesn't help with any completion certificate, it's just plain text.

Have a look at the latest (July/August) quiz, you will see what i mean.

You're advised to take a screenshot after passing the quiz:

I second that request. Would very much like to re-use the CPE certificate for CPE points earned for claiming CPE with other certification instances like ISACA etc.

@AlecTrevelyan - Those certificates don't appear at the end of the tests anymore, hence my initial post.

It's not a certificate, it's just a screen advising that you passed the quiz that you're supposed to screenshot in lieu of a certificate.

This screen has certainly appeared on all the quizzes I've completed since they moved away from Blue Sky.

e.g. This is the most recent one I completed from last month:

Checking into this for you. We changed the quiz vendor recently so let me find out if they can include a quiz certificate at the end.

Thanks for the feedback.

OK, I've just completed the July/August quiz and can see that they're using another new quiz system, so I understand your point now.

Thankfully, due to this thread I was forewarned so took a screenshot as evidence of successful completion.

@AlecTrevelyan @Cobra @Cybert @denbesten

Thanks all! Based on your discussion, some updates were made. 😀

The quiz vendor changed. Now when you finish the quiz the language has been updated to show your passing score. I also asked them to add language to encourage people to screen capture it for possible future CPE auditing purposes.

Thanks for the suggestions on the user experience - I was able to have them implemented.

Thank you for checking. Do you know if we have to manually add the CPE credit with the new changes? The credit used to be added automatically after a couple of days. I took the latest quiz almost 2 weeks ago, and the credit has not shown up yet.

Your CPE credits will post automatically to your (ISC)² CPE portal account during the first week of every month.

Since changing the vendor none of the previous quiz links work. Is there still a way to access those quizes? Based on the errors I see in the console it looks like loading the content gets a 503 error.

Since a certificate is not being award for passing journal quizzes, can you please add the CPEs awarded amount on the Journal quiz grade/complete page? On the Journal quiz grade screen, append the congrats message with something like: "Congratulations, you passed the quiz and have been awarded 2 CPEs!"

I liked the "CONGRATS! YOU PASSED" that was displayed before.

Hi Andrea,

I recently passed my CISM exam and thought of adding the 2PCEs per ISC2 magazine quiz.
I am in the habit of creating screenshots of the quiz result, but these are not usable for ISACA as evidence:
the screenshot doesn't include my name, and it doesn't state the amount of CPEs earned.

Also, when I go into the quiz environment, I can see I've done the quizes, but it only tells me I completed the quiz. No details available. So also not usable for ISACA.

Can this be fixed? Either by adding name and obtained CPEs to the result page, or by allowing me to download a 'certificate' from the overview page?
