I would like to know how many CPE hours are designated to the User and Power User Course hours and the certificates. I know the courses are available for 30 days. Thanks

Attending educational/training courses and seminars - Group A or B credit
Educational training courses and seminars related to the domains of each credential will qualify for one
Group A CPE credit for each hour of attendance
. Training courses and seminars that are not related to the
domains of a credential qualify as one Group B CPE credit for each hour of attendance.

Completing self-study, and attending Computer-Based Training (CBT), webcasts, and
podcasts - Group A or B credit
Members can earn one CPE credit per hour for completing a self-study program, attending computerbased
training, or viewing a Web Cast or Pod Cast. For example, members can claim 1 CPE hour for
attending one hour of online training course, or watching a webcast or podcast. However, (ISC)2 will
not allow members to submit more than the maximum number of CPEs recommended by the self-study
provider

The CPE hours are the equivalent of the length of each instructor-led class.

Fundamentals 1 = 9 hours
Fundamentals 2 = 20 hours
