Many board-certified pharmacists find ACCP’s self-assessment programs (SAPs) a convenient and economical way to earn recertification credits. However, ACCP Customer Service receives many questions about using the SAPs and recertification process. The following provides answers to some of the most common questions.

• Will one SAP series have enough credits for me to recertify?
  Yes, each series is designed to provide, at a minimum, enough credits to recertify.
• Can I use a SAP for more than one certification?
  No. The Board of Pharmacy Specialties has approved ACSAP to provide BCACP recertification credits, CCSAP to provide BCCCP recertification credits, PedSAP to provide BCPPS recertification credits, and PSAP to provide BCPS recertification credits.
• What is the three or more option?
  If you want more than two single books but not the entire SAP series, you can add three or more books to your cart and receive a significant discount when you check out.
• I’ve purchased one or two single books. Can I upgrade to a full subscription?
  Sure. Just contact ACCP Customer Service and ask to apply your previous payment to a full-series subscription.
• Has the schedule of book releases changed?
  Yes. The 2016–2018 SAP release dates are in January, May, and September; the posttest deadline for one book is the release date for the next book. This provides year-round opportunities for recertification credit.
• What is the passing point for recertification credit?
  Each module within a SAP release has a unique passing point that is set by a panel of subject matter experts.
• When will my credits show up on CPE Monitor?
  Credits will be assigned as of the date of test submission but will show up on www.mycpemonitor.net about 1 week after the posttest deadline.
• What is the difference between book formats?
  The online books (PDFs) work well on a computer or an iPad; the e-media book is designed for viewing on a tablet, e-reader, or smartphone. For the 2016–2018 SAP series, all formats are included with each purchase.
• Can I earn credits just from the PSAP print book?
  Sure. However, the print package includes the online and e-reader books, and these formats have hyperlinks to online resources, patient education sites, assessment tools, journal abstracts and full articles, and many more learning aids. Also, should a content change become necessary after printing, it will only be visible on the online and e-reader formats.
• What’s the best way to keep track of my recertification credits?
  The ACCP Recertification Dashboard is a free tool that lists, by specialty, any recertification credits earned through ACCP, as well as upcoming credit opportunities. You can even sign up for alerts when a new release becomes available.
