  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 0.9 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.
