To receive credit for your NHA continuing education (CE) courses, you must have an account with the National Association of Long-Term Care Boards (NAB).
Act now to prevent mishaps. Here’s more on what you need to know:

  • CAHF/QCHF is an approved Nursing Home Administrators’ (NHA) provider of continuing education (CE) courses from the National Continuing Education Review Service (NCERS).
  • The NCERS database is managed by the National Association of Long‐term Care Boards (NAB).
    The CDPH Nursing Home Administrator Program (NHAP) will access the NAB to verify administrator continuing education credits during the NHA license renewal process.
  • All California NHAs must set up a NAB Registry Account to secure their NAB Registry Identification Number.
  • In order to ensure attendees’ CE credits are properly uploaded to the NAB system, attendees must now sign in and out of events; or scan their badge, depending on the event setup. The individual’s NAB Registry Identification number must also be included.
  • All NAB Approved CEs are recorded electronically, there are no paper certificates issued.
