When Will the CPE System be Implemented?

What is the CPE Credit System?

• CPE Continuing Professional Education
• A standard of measure used to calculate
  continuing professional development
• One credit for one instruction hour (at least 50
  minutes)

Why Change to CPE System?

• It is clear and more precise than the current
  unit of measure
• It eliminates ambiguity about how to divide and
  attribute credits
• It is recognized worldwide by a variety of
  credentialing bodies such as - ACFE, CFE, and
  ISC(2)
• It enhances the ability and opportunity to
  calculate credits for multiple recertification
  programs

How do I Convert Credits?

  one ASIS credit to four CPEs
• Certification staff will perform the conversion
  of ALL certificants due to recertify by December
  31 of 2008, 2009 and 2010
• You only need to submit your recertification
  activities as you normally do

How Many CPE Credits are Needed?

• Each designation requires the following CPE
  credits per 3-year term
• 60 for CPP
• 45 for PSP and PCI
• Recertification fees are the same for all
  programs(60 for members and 80 for
  non-members)
• Increased activity is not required
• to fulfill new credit requirements

Certification Terms
All recertification programs now have the same
three-year recertification term.

• Streamlining is a major benefit to those who have
  multiple certifications
• By making PSP recertification requirement three
  years, it reduces uncertainty about expiration
  dates
• What about lapse policy?
• The policy for reinstating a certification after
  one year of lapse remains the same

CPP, PCI, and PSP Recertification

• Separate recertification forms are needed for
  CPP, PSP and PCI recertification
• This is true even if some or all of your
  activities qualify for credit under more than one
  certification
• Recertification ActivitiesRemain the Same
• Certificants can earn their credits by using a
  combination of both education and volunteer
  activities, ensuring that the latter accounts for
  no more than 50 percent of their total CPP
  credit submission
