AANP is committed to the development of educationally sound continuing education (CE) that is relevant to NP practice. Through accreditation, you can ensure your CE activities are consistent with AANP quality standards — and share your content with an active community of NPs. All NP CE providers are encouraged to submit activities for review and credit, thereby reinforcing the value of high-quality CE and promoting best practices in education.
You’ve worked hard to develop workshops, lectures, seminars, conferences, online education, monographs, publications, activities and much more. Now, get your CE in front of NPs who need it by applying for AANP accreditation! All activity sponsors are invited to apply.
Applying for accreditation is an easy online process. Before submitting your application, please gather the following items:
Please note that applications submitted more than 90 calendar days prior to the event will not be accepted. Applications submitted within 14 business days of the activity date will be expedited.
Note: AANP has updated the Accreditation Policy Handbook and Accreditation Process for 2024.
Review the AANP Accreditation Policy Handbook and the AANP Accreditation Process Handbook for information about standards, criteria, the review process and approval.
Review the Accreditation Fees for information on the different tiers and associated fee structure.
Review the AANP CE Application Tips for information on the types of activities accepted, presentation types, disclosures, evaluation and post-test requirements, speaker slides and much more.
Effective January 5, 2017, AANP is not accepting applications for new Approved Providers.
