How to Report and Earn CPE

 

It's that time of year again to check your level of accrued CPEs and make certain of your certification renewal eligibilty for any ISACA certifications you hold.  
 
ISACA's CPE reporting system has recently been enhanced, and CPEs can now be entered as they are earned.
 
Don't forget that you can earn up to 20 CPE hours per year as a volunteer for our Phoenix chapter or for the international ISACA organization. 
 
You can earn up to 36 hours of free CPEs annually by attending ISACA's Webinars, Virtual Conferences and archived e-Symposia right at your computer on your own schedule.
 
And then there's earning CPEs when attending your local Phoenix chapter ISACA meetings while networking with your professional peers.  And say, did you notice how local chapter meeting attendance fees have recently dropped dramatically - to zero cost? Thank you local chapter Board and our sponsors!
