Are you an Activity Professional working in long-term care, assisted living, or independent living? Or perhaps you work in an Adult Day Care or Memory Care program for the elderly.
Whatever venue you work in, you know how hard it is to provide good quality programming and enhance the quality of life of others who are in need.
You’d like to learn more about the people you work with, feel more confident about the services you provide, and find opportunities to advance your career.
That’s where NCCAP Certification comes in-
The Modular Education Program for Activity Professionals is a course designed to give the Activity Professional the tools they need to pass the National Exam and get certified with the National Certification Council for Activity Professionals.
