Code of Conduct

Black Hat believes our community should be open for everyone. As such, we are committed to providing a friendly, safe and welcoming environment. By participating you agree to abide by the Code of Conduct.


Continuing Education Credits

Black Hat provides Continuing Professional Education (CPE) credits for those who are certified through ISC2:

  • 16 CPE credits for two-day Trainings

You can request CPE credits by entering your certificate number on the online registration form.

Special service for CISSPs and SSCPs: Black Hat will automatically forward your earned CPE credits to ISC2 upon completion of Training and/or Briefings, thirty days after the event has ended. Please allow four to six weeks for ISC2 to post your hours.

CPE is a globally recognized standard unit of measure for continuing education for security professionals. Please see ISC2 for more information regarding the certification process. Please note Black Hat does not maintain records of earned CPE credits. It is the responsibility of the student to maintain his or her own records.

Training Class Cancellations by Black Hat

In the event that a Training is canceled due to low enrollment, Trainer cancellation, or other reasons beyond our control, we will contact you immediately to make an alternate selection.

If Black Hat is forced to cancel a Training class, you have the following options:

  • Move to another class, space pending. You should complete the form that was sent to you via email and return it as directed on the form. *Please note that if the newly selected course is more expensive, you must pay the difference. If the newly selected course is less expensive, you will be given a refund for the difference in the original payment instrument.
  • Receive a full refund for the canceled class. You will not be assessed an administrative fee.

Training Class Change Request

You are registered only for the Training class you selected. In order to change classes, you must email bhtrainingregistration@informa.com by February 12, 2024. After this date, we cannot change your Training class unless the class has been canceled.

If you are owed a refund for the difference of the class cost, you will be sent a refund via the same method of payment.

If additional payment is required, you will be billed the difference in the class cost. All outstanding fees must be paid within 1 business day.

Please email your request to: bhtrainingregistration@informa.com. Class space for the Training is extremely limited and we have sold out in years past. There is no guarantee that space will be available in the class you are requesting.

On-Site Class Transfer

If you find your chosen class isn't a fit, you have option to transfer to another class (if space permits). You may transfer a maximum of one (1) time. You must make this request no later than 14:00 on day one of the course. If there the requested course is more expensive than the original, the student will be responsible for paying the difference. If the class is less expensive, the student will NOT receive a refund for the difference in price.


Training Class Reservations

All Training course seats are first-come, first-paid. The only way to hold a seat in a Training course is to be paid in full at the time of your registration. Black Hat reserves the right to cancel your unpaid registration without notification in order to guarantee the seat to a paid delegate.
