Education / CNE Approval Resources

ANCC-COA mandates that specific criteria must be met before approval can be given for activities to provide continuing education. Correct and complete application forms and copies of all promotional proofs/materials will assist you in satisfying the criteria requirements.

The resources found on this page will assist you in understanding what you are required to do to meet those requirements, and hopefully give you an understanding of why we request them. The guidelines are looked at annually, and DNA makes every effort to make them as user-friendly as possible. It is imperative though that ANCC criteria (requirements for DNA to maintain their accreditation) be met with every application.
