CISM Training counts as Group A or Group B for CISSP CPEs?

Hi, all! I completed Cybrary's 'Computer Information Security Manager (CISM) Course' and logged 10 study hours (back this summer before I sat for my CISM). I initially listed it as Group B credits for my CISSP with ISC2. But now I am second guessing myself. Why wouldn't it count as 'Group A Multiple Domains' CPE hours... right?

*I may have thought differently and classified it this way prior to taking the test, at which point I realized that CISM was basically just a non-technical version of CISSP. My CISM exam felt like I was just re-taking the management portion of the CISSP all over again.

Thanks!

I think of A as technical or directly related to InfoSec...CISM makes sense here.

B seems like it’s project management, accounting...more the business type training.

Thank you! I had been putting leadership and business-related courses in Group B, so that makes sense to me as well.

I would say Group A.

You are probably on the right track - CISM covers some of the same ground as CISSP domains, if you can describe the correct domain(s) you covered in your training then you should be able to list it as group A.
