Verification and Reporting

New Jersey pharmacists attest to CE completion on their renewal application and are subject to random Board audit at the end of each biennial period; acceptable proof includes a course certificate of completion or an NABP CPE Monitor transcript. Records must be retained for 5 years. N.J.A.C. 13:39-3A.4

AchieveCE is an ACPE-accredited provider and reports your completed hours directly to CPE Monitor and stores your certificates of completion, so your record is both filed with NABP and backed up if you are ever audited.
