Guidelines for NANP Continuing Education Credit (CEC) Review
We appreciate your interest in submitting your continuing education program(s) for review by NANP. NANP members THRIVE on education, and our profession demands lifelong learning to remain adept. Achieving CEC Provider status is beneficial to you because our members must earn NANP-approved CECs, and we are tasked with directing them to trustworthy providers of superior educational programs.
The NANP requires a maximum of fifteen (15) CECs per year 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.
