Hi all,
I am sure this has been posted previously, but I ended up bouncing between a few forum posts and would like some clarification. The question is in two parts.
Part one: Is there an approved list of recognised qualifications (ISC)² have validated for CPE credits?
If not, is the CEH, Certified Ethical Hacker Certification: https://www.eccouncil.org/programs/certified-ethical-hacker-ceh/ qualification deamed relivant for claiming CPE's?
Part two: How many CPE's is a qualification worth?
The CEH for me consisted of a week long course (40 Hours) and many many more (100+) self study and practicing, How many CPE's can I claim?
From the FAQ's I take it I can claim 30 CPE's under the self study route:
https://www.isc2.org/Frequently-Asked-Questions#accordion-f4ec6c90bbd24f6fa982de008bbaf361:
Q. If I earn another certification, can I get credit for passing the examination?
A. For obtaining a new credential, you may submit up to 30 CPEs under the self-study category for the time you spent preparing to obtain the new certification.
The CPE Handbook however would lead me to believe I can claim up to 40 CPE's
CPE handbook: https://www.isc2.org/-/media/ISC2/Certifications/CPE/CPE---Handbook-Digital-V2.ashx
Group A: 1 hour of instruction related to the credential domains equals 1 CPE.
I have read forum posts which would suggest I can double claim, 30 for the study, and a further 40 for the qualification, however 70 would appear overly generous for a single qualification.
Once again, if this has previously been asked and answered (and I did read similar questions, just none which provided me with enough confidence to jump straight onto the CPE portal and submit anything) I apologize for the forum spam and will spend longer searching next time.
Cheers,
Jon
