Guidelines for NANP Continuing Education Credit (CEC) Review
We appreciate your interest in submitting your CEC program(s) for NANP review. NANP members THRIVE on education and our profession demands lifelong learning to remain adept. Achieving Category I CEC status is of benefit to you, as our members look to the NANP to direct them to trustworthy providers of superior educational programs. NANP requires a maximum of thirty (30) CECs per two-year period for Board Certified members and ten (10) CECs for annual professional membership renewal. CECs are granted on a one (1) contact hour to one (1) continuing education credit equivalency.
Following are the types of programs the NANP will review for CEC purposes. Please examine these carefully before submitting your program for consideration.
Advanced & Specialty Education Programs (not to exceed forty (40) CECs)
- 1-10 CEs = $200
- 11-20 CEs = $400
- 21-40 CEs = $600 (includes college credit courses, generally equivalent to 45-hours of instruction)
Full access to all program materials must be provided, including online access for programs that are taught virtually. If appropriate for your program, we will need copies of:
- Lesson plans
- Learning objectives
- Required reading lists
- Proprietary reading materials (those that cannot be accessed elsewhere)
- Samples of homework, quizzes, exams, writing assignments, and final exams
Conferences & Seminars
The NANP will only approve CEC programs that are minimally eighty percent (80%) educational and only twenty percent (20%) or less sales oriented. Programs over twenty percent (20%) sales-focused will not be approved.
Conferences
- Non-profit organization: One-day conferences $200 (USD), $100 for each subsequent day
- For-profit organizations: One-day conferences $250 (USD), $200 for each subsequent day

NOTES:
- Non-Profit organizations will receive a 20% discount on the fees above, with written confirmation of 501(c) status.
- If documents are missing or if the review requires extraordinary communications, an hourly fee of $30 will apply.
