Conferences & Certificate Programs ​

Two ACPE structures worth setting up deliberately: a conference where attendees pick their own sessions, and a certificate program that reports a CPN alongside its UAN credit.

Multi-session conferences need a UAN per session ​

ACPE awards each UAN as a whole, so a learner earns the full credit hours attached to a UAN. For a conference where attendees pick and choose sessions, that makes a separate UAN per session the setup you want — and typically one per audience as well, so pharmacists and technicians each get their own. Requesting UANs this way is standard ACPE practice for multi-session conferences, and accreditors are used to the ask if yours initially issues a single bundled number.

With individual UANs in hand, the build is straightforward: one course for the conference, with a credit per session, each carrying its own UAN, times, and target audience. Every learner claims exactly the sessions they attended, and reporting happens automatically per session.

If the conference runs over several days or venues, the course builder lets you make each day a module holding that day's session credits. Each credit's live date is then matched against its own day — see UANs & Live Dates — and attendees finish and get certificates for one day without waiting for the next. Running a Live Event covers the build.

Working with a single bundled UAN

Build the conference the same way — all sessions and credits in LecturePanda — and your attendance reports still show precisely who attended what. Use that report as the basis for your CPE Monitor upload, and you keep the per-session detail while your accreditor catches up.

Certificate (CPN) credit alongside UAN credit ​

ACPE certificate programs issue a CPN (Certificate Program Number) in addition to the regular UAN credit. Both can be submitted automatically when the learner claims their normal credit.

  1. Create a second credit for the certificate, the same way you'd create a UAN credit.
  2. Set its activity type to Certificate. The form then asks for the CPN — enter it there.
  3. Scroll to the bottom of that credit's configuration and set its dependency to Auto-Claim, then select the UAN credit that is its component part.

Now when a learner claims their normal credit, both line items are submitted together — no second action needed from them.
