About Our Courses

InsPAC offers in-depth courses designed to equip students with the requisite skills of their profession and prepare those electing to be certified in their chosen profession to take the PAC certification examination. The courses are available for self-study with slides, audio recordings, or, alternatively, presented as seminars over a period of time. Successful completion of the preparatory course has the added advantage of nursing CEUs or contact hours. The Nursing CEUs are approved by the American Nurses credentialing Center’s Commission on Accreditation (ANCC) and are offered only when all requirements are met.
