Earning Category II CECs

Category II CECs can be earned by receiving credit for programs offered by other organizations that have NOT been pre-approved by NANP for CECs. NANP recognizes that there are many quality continuing education programs available to nutrition professionals and we encourage all providers to apply to the NANP for CEC approval of their programs.

The NANP will recognize programs offered by the following organizations as applicable for Category II CECs:

• All NANP-approved schools providing CEC courses
• Age Management Group (AMG)
• American Academy of Environmental Medicine (AAEM)
• American College for Advancement in Medicine (ACAM)
