Education Provider Program

The EPP is intended to broaden and enhance the educational opportunities available to members, by ensuring quality regulator-approved opportunities in a variety of formats that are readily available. The benefits of being part of the EPP include:

• The opportunity to liaise with ALBNL, AANB and NSAA members on an ongoing basis

• Opportunities for marketing your organization and/or event via a designated page in the CE section of our websites

• Promotional support of the educational opportunity via the ALBNL, AANB & NSAA member bulletins and on social media platforms

• EPP participants can identify themselves as Providers with a unique logo provided by the participating regulators, acknowledgement that the session has been reviewed by the participating Jurisdictions and thereby encouraging members to attend to achieve their mandatory CE requirements.

• Opportunities to participate as sponsors at events organized by the participating Jurisdictions
