Can college courses be used for CPEs?

I have taken several college courses(23 to be exact) over the last 2 years since obtaining my CISSP. Can those courses be used to fulfill the renewal requirements for my CISSP? Those courses took more than just hours to complete.

I've also since then completed my CCSP but it's pending endorsement processing completion.

I suggest you read page nine of the CPE handbook:

Continuing professional education, or CPE, is a requirement of many professional designations and certifications. The organizations that give out these certifications want to ensure that their members remain up to date on the best technology and practices in the field.

A “tsunami of change” is on its way according to the New York Times. New accounting rules will have an impact on large and small organizations. If ever there was an argument for continuing professional education (CPE) and getting your CPE credits, here it is.

“There is nothing permanent except change”. Heraclitus could have been writing about accounting standards and best practice. There is no alternative to continuing professional education for Certified Public Accountants (CPAs) if you want to stay up to date and just as important, stay licensed to practice.

Read on to learn about what courses count as CPE credits for CPAs.

Certified Public Accountants, the AICPA, and NASBA.
To be a Certified Public Accountant (CPA) in the United States, candidates have to pass the Uniform Certified Public Accountant Examination. This exam is set by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA). The National Association of State Boards of Accountancy (NASBA) administer the exams.

Although there is a national framework, licensing and certification are handled by individual states. This applies to CPE requirements too. This means that there are differences between states you need to look out for.

More on this later.
