CERTIFICATION CURRICULUM

The foundation of NCCAP Certification is based on a formal course of study and independent national exam. Since 1986, NCCAP's Modular Education Program for Activity Professionals (MEPAP) has been the national curriculum required for Certification. The evidence-based Learning Objectives and Competencies of the MEPAP provide the knowledge and skills to deliver the highest quality person-centered care across the continuum of care.
