Submit Class B Credits

The National Board of Certification and Recertification for Nurse Anesthetists (NBCRNA) manages the certification of CRNAs/nurse anesthesiologists. All courses must meet NBCRNA requirements to count toward a CRNA’s/nurse anesthesiologist’s certification. This includes 100 credits of continuing education and professional development every 4-year cycle. At least 60 must be Class A credits and the remaining Class B.

AANA Members can report Class B credits.

Class B credits do not require prior approval or an assessment. Qualifying activities must do at least one of the following:

• Enhances knowledge of anesthesia practice
• Supports patient safety
• or Fosters an understanding of the broader healthcare environment

Learn more from the NBCRNA about what qualifies for a Class B Credit and review its Class B table.

If you do not see an activity you believe may qualify as a Class B activity, contact CPC@nbcrna.com to discuss whether that activity could be applied to the Class B requirement.

AANA only handles the technical aspects of Class B submissions while NBCRNA handles all matters pertaining to categorization, content, and credit.

If you are not an AANA member, it is your responsibility to maintain your Class B credit activity records on your own and report them during your CPC Renewal every four years.
