View CE credits for all CSI courses and all associations.
While CSI makes every effort to ensure that the information is up-to-date, we are unfortunately unable to fully guarantee its accuracy. The information listed in the chart may be subject to change.
As an added feature, the ADMS course allows students to earn CE credits from a variety of jurisdictions, including CIRO, by completing the quizzes at the end of each section of the course. Students can earn CE credits gradually rather than having to wait until completing the final course examination.
