NCCAP Body of Knowledge Topic Areas for Continuing Education Hours

The NCCAP reviewers continue to find individuals not submitting the required information on their certificates of verification for example, the speaker's name, speaker's credentials, etc. Also more frequently than that, the reviewers find that individuals attempt to utilize items that do NOT fit under the Body of Knowledge topic areas for continuing education hours. For example, attending a Bible Study group one night a week for 2 hours, pet training classes for your puppy, or working out at a spa 2 hours per week, does not constitute continuing education hours. Craft classes would also not meet the NCCAP requirement unless dictated by the administrator in writing. NCCAP sends you the renewal standards with your certification renewal that specifies what does and does not constitute continuing education hours. Most states have numerous opportunities for continuing education, as well as independent study courses through a college or university. Other opportunities include NCCAP pre-approved home study courses, 20% or your hours can come from facility in-services and health related areas such as CPR renewals. NN
