QCP Recertification Application

Keep your QCP credential in good standing by submitting your recertification application. Begin the application process by purchasing this application fee. After purchase, you will be given directions to complete your application by submitting proof of 80 earned continuing education (CE) hours.

• All hours must have been earned within the last four years
• At least 15 hours must be in QAPI or quality improvement areas
• The remaining 65 hours can be for any healthcare-approved continuing education that meets licensure requirements (for a total of 80 hours)

Save the documentation to support your continuing education credits. AAPACN conducts random audits of renewal applications. If your application is selected for audit, you will be required to submit all supporting documents. Please maintain a copy of your renewal application and the supporting certificates and other documents for the entire four-year certification period in order to satisfy any audit requests.

Certification Data Disclaimer
Failure to recertify before your certification expiration date may result in permanent deletion of all data pertaining to the certification, including but not limited to certification-related earnings, enrollments, course progress, and exam results. Your certification expiration date can be found on your learner dashboard.

AAPACN’s learning management system is designed to reset progress data when recertification requirements are unmet, allowing learners to restart the certification process.
