For CRNAs
You didn't get less busy when you became a CRNA
Core fits continuing education around your schedule. Earn AANA-approved Class A credit that meets MAC Ed standards during your commute, your workout, or between cases — and let the certificates and board reporting take care of themselves.
Free account to browse the catalog. 60+ Class A credits when you subscribe.
Built by CRNAs who wanted a better way to do this.
Save hours on CE paperwork
Certificates, credit tracking, and board reporting happen automatically. No spreadsheet, no portal, no scramble in December.
60+ Class A credits
AANA-approved credit that meets MAC Ed standards, with courses added every month so deadlines never catch you off guard.
Learn on any device
Desktop or mobile, online or downloaded. The app goes where you go, including the parts of the hospital with no signal.
Learning that sticks
Post-episode knowledge checks mean you finish a course actually knowing the material, not just holding the certificate.
All of your CE in one place
Course library
CE that sounds like a conversation, not a webinar
A dedicated library of CE-attached courses built around your compliance needs. Listen to the episode or read the transcript, take a short quiz and survey, and you’re done. Prefer reading? Every course has a PDF that earns the same credit.
- Build confidence before every exam.
Credit tracking
Class A and Class B, counted for you
Credit is recorded against your AANA number the moment you pass the quiz and survey. Once you hit the 60-credit MAC Ed threshold, everything after that counts toward MAC Dev as Class B — automatically, with no spreadsheet in sight.
- Your credits stay organized automatically.
Certificates & reporting
Reporting runs while you sleep
Download a PDF certificate for every course, stored permanently in your profile. Board reporting runs nightly, so a missed deadline becomes one less thing on your list.
- Complete a course and move on.
History transfer
Nothing gets lost in the move
Your completion history migrates to Aptitude automatically, with duplicate-credit protection built in. Every certificate you have already earned stays exactly where you expect to find it.

What CRNAs say
Hear how students and practicing clinicians use Core Anesthesia chieve their learning goals.
Questions CRNAs ask
Everything you need to know about Core Anesthesia, from subscriptions and CME credits to QBank access and learning resources.
Yes. Our Class A courses count directly toward your MAC Ed requirement — the continuing education framework that replaced the AANA’s older CPC program. Once you’ve earned your 60 Class A credits, additional credits automatically count toward your MAC Dev requirements as Class B.
They’re priced and built for different needs. CRNAs pay $59 a month (three-month minimum) or $599 a year for the full CE library and credit tracking. SRNAs pay $9.99 a month or $99 a year for coursework support, a custom quiz builder, and full library access. Both start with a free download.
Your exact requirement depends on your renewal cycle, so check the NBCRNA’s current guidelines for your total.
Yes. Every course is pre-approved by the AANA and counts as Class A CE credit toward your MAC Ed renewal.
Yes. Every course comes with a companion transcript or PDF, so you can complete the same credit by reading if audio doesn’t fit your schedule that day.
You can still complete every course. You’ll just report your own completed credits to the NBCRNA instead of having Core Anesthesia report them for you automatically.
Reporting is fully automated and runs nightly, so your completed credit is always up to date with the AANA — no manual submission needed if you’re an active member.
Yes. Your completed courses and certificates stay in your Core Anesthesia profile permanently and migrate automatically if anything changes on our end — no duplicate credit, no gaps in your record.
You get three attempts to pass each exam, and questions are randomized each time per AANA guidelines, so you’re not stuck retaking the identical test.
