Recertification & Continuing Education Flashcards

How long is the standard CPP recertification cycle?

Answer: Three years

CPP holders must recertify every three years to keep the designation active.

How many continuing professional education (CPE) credits must a CPP earn in each recertification cycle?

Answer: 60

ASIS requires CPP holders to earn 60 CPE credits per three-year cycle.

A CPP spends one hour in a live security webinar on access control design. Generally, how many CPE credits does this earn?

Answer: 1

CPE credit is generally awarded at one credit per hour of qualifying instruction.

Which activity is LEAST likely to qualify for CPP CPE credit?

Answer: Performing routine daily duties of a current security job

CPE credit rewards professional development beyond normal job duties, so routine work does not qualify.

Besides earning CPE credits, what must a CPP continue to do to stay certified?

Answer: Follow the ASIS Code of Ethics

Certificants must keep following the ASIS Code of Ethics, or their certification can be revoked.

Why should a CPP keep certificates of attendance and agendas for CPE activities?

Answer: They support the recertification application if it is selected for audit

ASIS may audit recertification applications, and certificants must be able to document the credits they claimed.

What is the main reason the CPP requires continuing education?

Answer: To make sure certificants keep their knowledge current as security practice changes

Recertification shows that a CPP's competence keeps pace with changes in threats, technology, and practice.
