36 CPEs during the 4-year certification period under GIAC’s current renewal program; activity caps and documentation rules vary by CPE type.

Plan against the four-year window
GIAC currently describes a 36-CPE renewal route across the four-year certification period. Spread the work instead of treating the final year as the entire renewal window.
Category caps matter
Different GIAC CPE activities have different limits. For example, current work-experience guidance allows one CPE per month up to 12 CPEs per renewal, so a 36-credit total cannot be assumed to come from unlimited work experience.
Keep proof with the activity
Store the evidence that matches the claimed CPE category and reconcile your planning total with GIAC’s renewal record before submitting.
GIAC renewal guidance: certification holders can maintain a certification by earning 36 CPEs during the four-year certification period, subject to current activity rules.
