7. Click Save & Close or Save & Add More if you have additional CPE to report

5. The CPE details will be pre-populated, you will only need to enter the number of CPE to add towards each certification that you hold. Each pre-loaded CPE event will have a maximum number of hours allowed to report.
6. Click Save & Close, and you will now see that event listed under your CPE Hours Applied to Certification section

Calculating CPE Hours

Use calculation below in the event an activity completed does not provide the specific number of CPE hours earned.

One CPE hour is earned for each fifty (50) minutes of active participation (excluding lunches and breaks) for qualifying ISACA and non-ISACA professional educational activities and meetings. CPE hours can be earned in quarter-hour increments and can also be reported in quarter hours (rounded to the nearest quarter hour). For example, a CISA who attends an 8-hour presentation (480 minutes) with 90 minutes of breaks will earn 7.75 continuing professional education hours.

Sample Calculation

390 minutes divided by 50 minutes = 7.8 or 7.75 CPE hours (rounded to the nearest quarter hour)
