Calculate remaining CPEs against GIAC’s current 36-CPE renewal target over four years. The useful output is not just the number: it is the number together with the assumptions and eligibility checks that can change what you should do next.
Calculation used
What this calculator uses
The inputs on this page are Eligible CPEs completed. The calculator subtracts your completed credits from a fixed 36-credit planning target and clamps the result at zero. Meeting that number does not replace category or reporting checks.
How to read the result
Use the result as a gap or timing check, then open the cited authority before buying a course, reporting credits, paying a fee, or submitting a renewal.
What the number does not prove
GIAC renewal uses a four-year certification period and activity-specific CPE rules. Track category caps and documentation rather than treating every professional activity as automatically eligible.
Best next step
Use the result as a gap or timing check, then open the cited authority before buying a course, reporting credits, paying a fee, or submitting a renewal.
GIAC renewal guidance: certification holders can maintain a certification by earning 36 CPEs during the four-year certification period, subject to current activity rules.
