CPEs and Pen Testing labs

RRMaillet — Mon, 09 Oct 2023 09:10:41 GMT

Hi there!

I was wondering if I could get some direction on applying CPEs against things like hackthebox.eu or other similar Pen Testing training labs?

Would you consider a per hour or more along the lines of a per "hacked" box/exercise?

Only asking so that I'm not seen as abusing the system but, at the same time, earning CPEs commensurate with the skills I'm acquiring!

@RRMaillet Thank you for your inquiry. You may submit 1 CPE per hour of attendance for each lab you complete as these are can be considered self-study since you are learning. You would submit this under the 'Education' tab and then 'Online webinars, podcasts and other online training'.

Best Regards,

Amanda Vance

Great news - a quick update I spotted online..

You can now use HTB boxes to claim CPEs directly if you a HTB VIP - this to me is a good positive step and helps CISSPs and ISC2 certification holders validate their technical skills.

@amandavanceISC2 can the CPEs from such CTFD challenges be submitted under "Education" -> "Courses and Seminars - Other"? “presenter” and “year published” fields under “online webinars, podcasts and other online materials” are a bit confusing for me.
