What are Continuing Professional Education (CPE) hours?

CPE represent the number of hours of instruction for each F5 training course. Instructor-led training course certificates include a note about the number of hours of instruction completed in each course (7 hours per day of instruction).

It is up to each student to submit their own CPE hours to whoever issued their professional certification/status, and it is up to the organization that issued the professional certification/status to accept those hours.
