What do you need for the NBCRNA CPC Program?
The CPC Program is designed to support lifelong learning for CRNAs.
By keeping up with current practice trends and refreshing the basics, you’ll be empowered to provide the highest quality care for your patients.
To satisfy your CPC requirements, you must complete Class A credits, Class B credits, CPC Assessment, and Core Modules.
If the CPC Program feels time consuming, you’re not alone. But don’t worry, we’re here to help.
As CRNAs ourselves, we understand the challenge of fitting the CPC Program into your busy schedule.
APEX makes it easy with convenient, engaging, and easy-to-use online courses that fit your lifestyle.
Conveniently learn anywhere, anytime on desktop or mobile.
No stress post-tests with three attempts to pass.
Take your post-tests open-book.

Have questions?
We have you covered.
Will APEX report my credits to the AANA?

Is APEX founded and operated by CRNAs?
Yes! APEX is founded and operated by CRNAs who care about you.
Can I complete the same CE course more than once?
Yes! You can repeat any course whenever we receive a new AANA approval number for that course.
- We receive new AANA approval numbers for our courses every several years.
- So long as you complete the course under a different AANA number, you can complete the course again for Class A credits.
Can I renew or extend access to a CRNA course?
We understand that sometimes life gets in the way. If you need extra time to earn your credits, contact us, and we’ll gladly extend your course access.
If you’d like to enroll in a course that you used previously (to earn credits again), email us at info@apexanesthesia.com so we can re-enroll you into a course.
What are the software and hardware requirements to use APEX?
You can access APEX from your computer, tablet, and smartphone.
