CNLCP™ Certification
Become a Certified Nurse Life Care Planner (CNLCP®)
Certified Nurse Life Care Planner (CNLCP®) Certification
Certification is a formal recognition that validates knowledge, experience, skills and clinical judgment within a specific nursing specialty; and, as such, is reflective of a more stringent professional practice standard. It reflects achievement of proficiency beyond basic licensure.
CNLCP® Certification
Please note that applications for the CNLCP® multiple-choice certification examination will no longer be accepted as we are transitioning to a portfolio examination. Development of the CNLCP® Portfolio Examination is underway, with an anticipated release in the late fall, 2024.
Recertification applications are not affected.
It is the policy of the Universal Life Care Planner Certification Board members and staff to comply with all compliance laws that prohibit discrimination in employment or service provision and that no individual shall be excluded from the opportunity to participate in the CNLCP® and/or CHLCP™ program based on age, sex, race, color, religion, national origin, ethnicity, disability, marital status, sexual orientation, and gender identity or any other protected characteristic.
