Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)


Can I add and track non-FEI CPE Credit information to the FEI CPE Center?
Yes, the CPE Center has the ability to track additional CPE credits earned from outside sources. To add this information to the CPE Center, click “Track non-FEI Credits” from the CPE Home page. Click “add more credits”, complete the form and save. These credits will be tracked in the Credit Summary.

What is the Credit Summary?
This grid shows your progress towards compliance, and is based on the CPE profiles you created. The “earned to date” box includes all credits earned (through FEI and external sources).

I attended a Chapter meeting on this date and my credits aren't showing as available yet.
Typically, credits for CPE approved meetings will be available within 3-7 business days of the actual meeting date. If you attended a meeting, signed in and out, and still don't see your credits, please contact your Chapter Administrator or the CPE Administrator via email, [email protected], for additional assistance. You can also check your CPE profile date to be sure it is before the date of the event you earned the CPE credit.  As meetings are submitted for CPE credit approval, although rare, they may not receive approval for the content. Unfortunately, there are times when meetings offered credits but do not meet the standards set by NASBA. You may contact your Chapter Administrator or the CPE Administrator to determine if this is the reason your credit is not available.

I went to a Chapter meeting and the credits aren't showing as available to me. Everyone else got theirs already, where are mine?
It is a requirement of NASBA that you sign the available CPE sheets that are usually located at the registration table. When FEI National receives the signature sheets, we release the credits to the signatures on the list. If there is no sheet, ask the administrator to sign the attendance sheet. Please remember to write clearly! If you forgot to sign in but are sure you attended the meeting, please contact [email protected], and FEI National will speak with your Chapter Administrator for confirmation.

Some of the credits I’ve earned aren’t listed on the certificates page, or recently “disappeared.”  Where are they?
The FEI CPE Center is designed to comply with NASBA regulations, which state that only credits earned within the current cycle count toward compliance. Therefore, the certificates page will only list credits earned after the “most recent audit” date in your CPE profile. If you have multiple profiles, the system lists all credits earned after the earliest dated profile. If you would still like to be able to view or print certificates for credits earned prior to your most recent audit, you can set your profile to an older date, or create a second profile with an older date.

Can I watch an archived webcast and qualify for CPE credit?
Unfortunately, no. Only participation during the live webcast qualifies for CPE credit, per NASBA regulations.

Can everyone in my office watch a webcast and receive CPE credit if I am the only person who registered and paid for the webcast?
Unfortunately, no. Only those individuals who have registered for the webcast and have met the criteria are eligible for CPE credit.
