Instructor Candidates are required to start the NRP Instructor Candidate Curriculum within 30 days following the approval of the application. They then have one year to complete the curriculum. No extensions will be granted.
-
Once someone who has an approved application starts the Instructor Candidate Curriculum, they have one year to complete this curriculum and become an NRP Instructor. If their NRP Provider eCard expires during that year, their Provider status is extended to the end of that year. This is not a one year extension on their Provider eCard; the new expiration date will be one year from the date they start the Instructor Candidate curriculum. If the Provider eCard expiration date is already after that one year period, the Provider eCard expiration date remains the same.

Applications are processed 1-2 business days after submission.
