CPEs

Hello,

When do you have to start earning the CPEs when you pass the exam or once the endorsment process is complete?

Thanks,

There is no point earning them until your Certification Cycle starts, I recently passed SSCP and just got my Endorsement completed which advised that my cycle starts Feb 1st and any CPE's earned before that will not be carried over

From the email

You may not claim CPE credits for activities that occurred prior to your certification cycle start-date.

You are not certified until you are successfully endorsed, and you don't start collecting CPEs until you are certified. You also can't claim any activities for CPEs that occurred before your official "certified on" date you receive in email.

Question about CPE's. Do graduate school courses count towards them if in an applicable domain?

There are Group A CPEs which apply to specific CBK domain(s), and there are Group B CPEs which can be applied to learning/related related to InfoSec, such as programming, networking, forensics, etc. Classes could fall under either group depending on the subject.
