Upskilling Program FAQs

Introducing our 3-month asynchronous curriculum for nurse practitioners & physician associates.

What is the difference between the ThriveAP Upskilling Program and the traditional Transition to Practice Program?
Our ThriveAP 12-month Transition to Practice (TTP) programs offer foundational onboarding for new nurse practitioner (NP) and physician associate (PA) graduates, whereas our Upskilling Programs offer 3-month, targeted and in-depth, specialty-specific skills that offer career advancement and refinement. Organizations can benefit from both options to sustain a high-functioning advanced practice provider (APP) workforce.
What happens when a participant gets access to the Upskilling Program?
The participant will receive a link to take a self-assessment. Participants will then receive a link and login information to access the pre-recorded videos in the specialty program curriculum. They can access the courses anytime from anywhere, but they must view them in sequential order. To complete the program, participants will take a final self-assessment after completing all required course content.
Are the Upskilling Programs only for new NP and PA graduates?

No, these programs are specifically tailored for the NP or PA who has been practicing for a few years to many years and wishes to learn more in-depth clinical curriculum to grow and advance their expertise and career. We still recommend new graduates start with our traditional TTP program before advancing to a specialized Upskilling Program.

Do providers earn any CME/CE with the Upskilling Program?

Yes, the providers will receive 10-15 hours of CME/CE upon completion of the upskilling program. The number of hours CME/CE earned is dependent on the program completed.

Do you offer professional development in the Upskilling Programs?

Yes, we offer an Upskilling Program focused solely on Professional Development. Please note that the clinically-focused Upskilling Programs do not include professional development within their curriculum, but instead focus on targeted, high-yield specialty-specific clinical skills.

How long does it take to complete the Upskilling Program?

The Upskilling course is created to be completed in 3 months instead of 12 months like our TTP program. However, all of the courses are available the first time a learner logs in and are self-paced, so they could potentially watch them consecutively in fewer than 12 weeks.
