William Howell, CRNA

"The information presented was not only relevant, but the "myth buster" sections that look at old practice vs. the latest research were extremely useful."

Will APEX report my credits to the AANA?

We report credits for active AANA members on normal business days Monday – Friday.

If you’re not an AANA member, you can print your credit transcript to submit to the NBCRNA.

How do I access CRNA Updates?

You can choose the format that’s best for you (you’ll get instant access to all three when you enroll):

  1. Read the content from your computer, tablet, or smartphone.
  2. Stream the audio on our website, so you can listen on the go.
  3. Print the PDF file, so you can take notes as you follow along or learn when you’re away from your device.

How long will I have access to CRNA Updates?

You’ll have unlimited access for 1 year, but you can download and print the PDFs during your 1-year of access and keep them forever.

What if you need more time? We understand that life can get in the way, so let us know if you need more time, and we’ll give you more time to complete your 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. You can start on one device and pick up where you left off on another device.

  • Consistent minimum internet connection with a speed of 1.5 Mbps (10-25 Mbps for video).
  • Modern browser that has been updated within the last 12 months and has cookies and JavaScript enabled. Supported browsers include: Edge, Firefox, Google Chrome, and Safari.

Note: Browsers that are outdated or unsupported, such as older versions of Edge, Firefox, Chrome, Safari, or lesser-known browsers like Opera, may operate without issues but are not guaranteed to work seamlessly and are not supported. Certain operating environments, such as Linux, may also function but are not officially supported.

What is your refund policy?

We want to provide you with a world-class experience every step of the way.

While thousands of students and CRNAs choose APEX for board review and continuing education, what if you decide it isn’t for you?

Email us within seven days of your purchase, and we’ll give you a full refund.

Because of the nature of digital courses, we do not offer refunds (full or partial) beyond seven days of your purchase.

  • If you’re a CRNA, you must request your refund BEFORE earning credits (you earn credits by taking a post-test).
  • If you’re a student who failed the NCE, then review our student guarantee for our refund policy.
