Explanation of how points are awarded.

Structured Education Courses
Certified Members attending IS-related courses of at least one day in length, delivered in any modality except Computer Based Training (CBT), correspondence or self-study, receive 7 credits per day.

CBT, correspondence and self-study courses for which no completion certificate is given are not eligible for credit as a structured education course.
IS-related courses of less than one day in length are not eligible for credit.
