As noted in Section 2.2.7 of the U.S. qualification standards, it is ultimately up to the individual actuary to determine on a good-faith basis what CE opportunities meet the definition of relevant CE. However, the Committee on Qualifications has provided the following informal guidance at various webcasts and seminars: activities (whether organized or other) may constitute relevant CE if you learned something or if you had the intent to learn something or if you were confirming your existing understanding of materials related to your current or future actuarial work. This guidance should also be considered in the context of teaching actuarial courses or presenting at seminars. Teaching or presenting may not necessarily result in an opportunity by the presenter to earn relevant CE unless the nature of the presentation allows the presenter to learn from others in attendance. Note that time spent preparing for the presentation might also qualify as relevant CE. However, if you are teaching the same subject matter again and again, at some point, you, as the teacher, would not likely be gaining or confirming anything. This is a determination you must make.
