Have questions about the NBCRNA CPC Program?
We have you covered.
Will APEX report my credits to the AANA?
We report credits for active AANA members on normal business days Monday – Friday.
If you’re not an AANA member, you can print your credit transcript to submit to the NBCRNA.
Do Core Modules award Class A credits?
Yes! Core Modules award Class A credits.
Although most Core Module providers charge nearly the same prices, some vendors give you more credits than others.
APEX gives you more credits for your money! In fact, our Core Modules give you 23 Class A credits, which is more than 1/3 of all the Class A credits you need for your entire 4-year cycle!
Are the Core Modules from APEX officially recognized by the NBCRNA?
This is important – the NBCRNA must officially recognize the CPC Core Modules before a vendor may offer them for sale. Some vendors may offer Core Module “Prep,” but they are NOT the real modules unless the NBCRNA officially recognizes them.
Our CPC Core Modules are officially recognized by the NBCRNA and approved by the AANA for 23 Class A credits.
What are the 4 C's of the CPC Program?
The CPC program spans an 8 year calendar that’s divided into two 4-year cycles.
The best way to understand the CPC program is to think of the 4 C’s:
- CPC Core Modules | 4 per 4-year cycle
- Class A credits | 60 per 4-year cycle
- Class B credits | 40 per 4-year cycle
- CPC Assessment | 1 per 8-year cycle
The CPC Core Modules are a required every 4-year cycle.
CRNAs who graduated in 2020 (and later) must complete the CPC Core Modules in their first 4-year cycle.
What's the purpose of the CPC Program?
The goal of the CPC program is to enhance your professional development. By staying up-to-date on current practice trends, CRNAs will continue to lead the way in delivering high-quality patient care.
The CPC Program focuses on 4 domains of anesthesia knowledge:
- Airway management techniques
- Applied clinical pharmacology
- Human physiology & pathophysiology
- Anesthesia equipment & technology
What's the purpose of the CPC Core Modules?
The CPC Core Modules serve two primary functions:
- They keep your clinical practice up-to-date by providing you with the current evidence-based practice trends.
- They help you earn Class A credits.
Not all modules are created equally! The quality, content, and Class A credit hours associated with the CPC Core Modules are determined by each vendor.
What are the software and hardware requirements to use APEX?
You can access APEX from your computer, tablet, and smartphone. You can start on one device and pick up where you left off on another device.
