Conference Calendar for 2026 January 29, 2026

Using NCC CE modules to maintain NCC certification is a convenient and affordable choice - but not required. NCC recognizes major national accrediting agencies, state boards of nursing, and health care organizations as CE providers. (for a full list of recognized accrediting organizations - click here)

The criteria for earning CE for NCC maintenance is
• CE must be accredited by an agency recognized by NCC.
• CE must be in the certification specialty.

Additional requirements for RNC & BC-NP certifications
• CE must be completed after the specialty assessment.
• CE must be in accordance with the education plan.
