Instructor CPE
Instructors or discussion leaders who present a learning activity for the first time, receive CPE credits for actual preparation time up to two times the number of CPE credits to which participants would be entitled, in addition to the time for presentation. Standards for CPE Program Measurement, Standard No. 14, Commentary states “Instructors,
discussion leaders, or speakers who present a learning activity for the first time should receive CPE credit for actual preparation time up to two times the number of CPE credits to which participants would be entitled, in addition to the time for presentation.
For example, for learning activities in which participants could receive 8 CPE credits, instructors may receive up to 24 CPE credits (16 for preparation plus 8 for presentation). For repeat presentations, CPE credit can be claimed only if it can be demonstrated that the learning activity content was substantially changed and such change required significant additional study or research.”
