CPE Requirements by State & Designation

Credit hours, reporting periods, deadlines, ethics rules and carryover for 74 jurisdictions and professional designations — each summarised from the regulator’s own published rules and kept current as those rules change.

CeriFi CPEdge has maintained these rule sets for over 20 years, tracking each regulator across 44 rule areas — credit categories, compliance periods, format limits, carryover, new-licensee provisions and provider approval. Where a board’s published wording is ambiguous, we confirm the interpretation with the board directly and record the date we did so.

Don’t track this by hand

CE Tracking applies these rules to your actual credits — every jurisdiction you are licensed in, at once — and tells you what is still outstanding before the deadline, not after it.
