Individual Activity Application & Resources

All applications MUST be submitted online

Thank you for your interest in providing American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC) accredited nursing continuing professional development (NCPD). 

Eligible providers of Individual learning activities include individuals, organizations, or a unit of a larger organization submitting a proposed learning activity for accreditation based on the criteria established by the ANCC. ANCC criteria exist to ensure that individually designed nursing continuing professional development (NCPD) activities are effectively planned, implemented, and evaluated according to educational standards and adult learning principles.

NCPD is defined as learning activities intended to build upon the educational and experiential bases of the professional RN for the enhancement of practice, education, administration, research, or theory development, to the end of improving the health of the public and the RN’s pursuit of continuing professional development.

For any activity with less than 10 business days before submitting the application contact the program director at: [email protected].

Converting Live Activities to Enduring Activities

Live activities, or portions of life activities, may be repurposed as enduring materials. If materials are converted, an expiration date is assigned to the enduring activity, and this expiration date must be disclosed to learners before they engage in the educational activity. If a live activity is recorded and the recording (either the entire event or portions of the event) is provided to the same group of learners who registered for the live event, this is considered the same activity. Considerations must be made to ensure that learner engagement strategies, evaluation methods, and criteria for awarding contact hours are appropriate for live and enduring activity types.

If a live activity is recorded and the recording (either the entire event or portions of the event) is provided to a new group of learners that did not register for the live event, this would be considered a new activity. Considerations must be made to ensure that learner engagement strategies, evaluation methods, and criteria for awarding contact hours are appropriate for live and enduring activity types.

The second new enduring activity will require a second application and a second fee submission.
