ISC2 Group A CPEs relate to the domains of the certification, while Group B covers broader professional development; the allowed mix depends on the credential and CC currently uses Group A only.
The difference between ISC2 Group A and Group B CPE Credits
The practical difference is the governing definition and where the credit is accepted. ISC2 Group A CPEs relate to the domains of the certification, while Group B covers broader professional development; the allowed mix depends on the credential and CC currently uses Group A only.
Do not assume automatic conversion
Keep the original unit or credit label from the completion record. Convert only when the receiving licensing board or certification program tells you how it treats the activity.
What to record
Save the provider, activity title, date, original credit unit, amount, category, certificate, and the authority rule you relied on. That makes later audits and multi-credential use easier to verify.
