Accreditation Systems
Continuing Professional Development (CPD) is essential for nurses to remain competent, ethical, and responsive in a rapidly evolving health care environment. The International Council of Nurses (ICN) recognizes lifelong learning as a cornerstone of safe and high‑quality nursing practice worldwide.
Currently, ICN offers two accreditation pathways: ICNEC Accreditation and ANCC Accreditation. Learn more about each accreditation!
ICN is accredited as a provider of nursing continuing professional development by the American Nurses Credentialing Center's Commission on Accreditation (ANCC)
Built on ICN’s expertise in education and regulation, ICN’s International Continuing Nursing Education Credits Accreditation System (ICNEC-AS) has been established to advance quality, consistency, and integrity of CPD for nurses globally
