Accreditation details
Self-Assessment program subscriptions are for 12 months from date of purchase. Learners will not have access to any of the program content once the subscription expires. If the CE credit expiration date passes, learners will have access to the content of the module until their subscription expiration date.   

ASPEN’s Self-Assessment Program consists of 10 modules on various topic areas in nutrition support.  Each module has 40 – 75 questions including commentary and references to aid with learning the material in a pre-assessment and a scored post-assessment testing environment. 

Pre-assessment: an area where you can assess your current knowledge

  • After answering each question, you will be able to review the commentary/explanation of the question content and view the references
  • This  must be completed and submitted before progressing to the graded post-assessment
  • If you need more time to study and review, simply reset the pre-assessment to continue practicing

 

Post-assessment: a graded/scored area of the self-assessment program where you can test your knowledge

  • A passing score of 60% must be attained on the post-assessment to be eligible to claim CE credit for the module
  • Once you have completed and submitted the post-assessment you will be asked to complete an evaluation prior to claiming CE credit. 
  • After completing, submitting and claiming CE credit for the post-assessment, you can reset the assessment for continued study and practice.  This reset does not change the initial post-assessment submission, the grade earned, or credit claimed, it is simply for practice and mastering of the content.
