Self-submission by credit type

Legal Cyber Academy is not an accredited provider; the notes below explain how a learner may self-submitthis activity where their board permits. The pathways shown reflect this course’s subject matter. Always confirm your board’s current rules.

  • Finance/securities subject matter — may support CPE where your state board accepts non-NASBA-registered activities.
  • CLE (attorneys)up to 1.0 hr (60-min basis)

    Many U.S. jurisdictions let an attorney apply for CLE credit for a non-accredited program (often called individual attorney or self-application). Use this certificate plus the course Information Sheet as your supporting documentation. Your state bar or CLE board decides whether credit is granted, how much, and any self-study cap.

  • CE / CPD (privacy, insurance, IT)up to 1.0 hr (60-min basis)

    Where your professional body recognizes self-reported or self-directed learning (CPD) — for example many privacy (CIPP/CIPM) and security certifications — record this activity using the certificate and Information Sheet. Confirm your program's self-reporting rules and any documentation it requires.

  • CPE (accountants)up to 1.2 hr (50-min basis)

    NASBA CPE uses a 50-minute credit hour and has strict self-study standards (registered sponsors, word-count-per-credit, and qualifying review questions). This course is NOT a NASBA-registered self-study program. Some state boards accept non-registered activities at their discretion — verify with your board before claiming CPE.

Legal Cyber Academy is not an accredited continuing-education provider, and its courses are not pre-approved for CLE, CE, CME, or CPE credit. Each course provides a graded assessment, a verifiable Certificate of Completion, and a Continuing Education Information Sheet documenting instructional time, learning objectives, faculty, and a timed agenda — the records most licensing bodies require when a learner applies for self-submitted or self-study credit. Whether credit is granted, and how much, is determined solely by your licensing board. Confirm your board's rules before claiming credit.
