How Do I Become CET Certified?
Earning the CET certification requires no additional work experience—you just have to pass each of the four certificate exams, then submit a completed application form and processing fee. Once certified, CET certification-holders are required to maintain the certification on an annual basis by earning and reporting CPE credit hours and paying an annual maintenance fee.

Maintain Your Certification
The goal of this continuing professional education (CPE) policy is to ensure that all CET Certified in Emerging Technology Certification holders maintain an adequate level of current knowledge and proficiency in information technology.
The responsibility for setting the CPE requirements rests with the CET Certification Working Group. The Working Group oversees the continuing professional education process and requirements to ensure their applicability.
Certification Requirements
The CET CPE policy requires the attainment of CPE hours over an annual and three-year certification period. CETs must comply with the following requirements to retain certification:
- Attain and report an annual minimum of twenty (20) CPE hours. Qualifying learning activities must align to the skills and knowledge required to perform tasks related to the CET certification. Of the 20 annually required CPE hours, a minimum of 10 hours must be attained by participating in skills-based training/labs*. The use of these hours towards meeting the CPE requirements for multiple ISACA certifications is permissible when the professional activity is applicable to satisfying the job-related knowledge of each certification.
- Attain and report a minimum of one hundred and twenty (120) CPE hours for a three-year reporting cycle period (a minimum of 30 CPEs must be skills-based training/lab activities*).
- Submit annual CPE maintenance fees to ISACA Global in full.
- Respond and submit required documentation of CPE activities if selected for the annual audit.
- Comply with ISACA’s Code of Professional Ethics.
* When reporting skills-based training/lab activities for CPE, be sure to select a qualifying activity that says: “Skills-Based Activities – Must Contain Lab Exercises”. The CPE reporting system will not apply the hours towards your skills-based requirement unless a skills-based qualifying activity is selected.
