We appreciate your interest in submitting your CEU program(s) for NANP review. NANP members THRIVE on education and our profession demands lifelong learning to remain adept. Achieving Category I CEU 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) CEUs per two-year period for Board Certified members and ten (10) CEUs for annual professional membership renewal. CEUs are granted on a one (1) contact hour to one (1) continuing education unit equivalency.
