Black Hat provides Continuing Professional Education (CPE) credits for those who are certified through ISC2:
You can request CPE credits by entering your certificate number on the online registration form.
Special service for CISSPs and SSCPs: Black Hat will automatically forward your earned CPE credits to ISC2 upon completion of Training and/or Briefings, thirty days after the event has ended. Please allow four to six weeks for ISC2 to post your hours.
CPE is a globally recognized standard unit of measure for continuing education for security professionals. Please see ISC2 for more information regarding the certification process. Please note Black Hat does not maintain records of earned CPE credits. It is the responsibility of the student to maintain his or her own records.
Group discounts are available for groups of six or more attendees registered and paid at the same time. Please see our Group Registration page or email for more information.
We cannot retroactively apply a discount to a group if they have already registered as individuals.

If you have already registered and paid your registration in full, you are not eligible for a discount if your organization also submits and qualifies for a group registration at a later date. You may cancel your registration, minus a $300 processing fee, by June 16, 2017 if you wish to partake in your organization’s group registration.
