For accreditation approval and processing
For Class A credit to be awarded, it must meet the Class A credit requirements, including approval by an accredited organization, such as AANA.
The $60 application fee covers the review of the application and supporting documents to ensure that the program meets the requirements for Class A credit, as well as the processing of the application.
When a program is "prior-approved", the provider has already completed the accreditation application and received approval to hold the meeting, workshop, seminar, or online course.
