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 one credit unit per each hour (up to 8 hours per day). To be eligible for credit, Computer Based Training (CBT), correspondence courses, or self-study instruction courses must award a certificate of completion or diploma.


Certified Members receive the same number of credits for these courses as would be awarded if the Certified Member had attended the instructor-led equivalent of the course. CBT, correspondence and self-study courses for which no completion certificate is given are not eligible for credit as a structured education course.

Higher Education
Certified Members attending IS-related courses at a traditional or on-line college or university may claim 10 credits per quarter hour or 15 credits per semester hour if they successfully pass the course or a letter grade of C (or better).
  
 
 Examination
 Certified members may claim 40 ECE credits for each IT Security related Certification examination. No credit is given for exam failures.
 
Education Seminar/Conference/Event
Certified Members attending traditional or web-based IS-related conferences, seminars or events may claim 4 credits for half-day and 8 credits for full day conferences, seminars or events according to the published hours.


Certified Members attending traditional or web-based IS-related conferences, seminars, events or podcasts less than a half day in length may claim one credit unit per hour.
Conferences or seminars that are primarily "sales presentations" or vendor exhibits are not eligible for credit.
Use combinations of the event durations listed to enter the applicable number of credits.

Certified Members who participate as speakers at traditional or on-line conferences, seminars or workshops may claim 3 credits per scheduled hour of the presentation the first time the presentation is given. Certified Members may not claim additional credits for presenting the same material multiple times.

Certified Members who are the primary instructor for an instructor-led or on-line synchronous course may claim 21 credits per day the first time the course is presented. Instructors may not claim additional credits for teaching the same material multiple times.
Certified Members who are teaching a new version of a class for which they have previously claimed credit may claim 11 credits per day the first time the new version is presented. Instructors may not claim additional credits for teaching the same material multiple times. Use combinations of the event durations listed to enter the applicable number of credits.
