AONN+ FFL Certification is unique to the field of navigation. Your AONN+ FFL Certification will provide you with specific credentials and knowledge that can help you improve patient care and further your career development.
AONN+ FFL are proud to offer 2 unique certifications: Oncology Nurse Navigator–Certified Generalist℠ (ONN-CG℠) and Oncology Patient Navigator–Certified Generalist℠ (OPN-CG℠).
For more information, please visit the AONN+ Foundation for Learning website.
The AONN+ FFL Advisory Commission Chairs are working diligently to obtain American National Standards Institute (ANSI) accreditation for the ONN-CG℠ and OPN-CG℠ certification exams. AONN+ certifications will be retroactively recognized upon ANSI accreditation approval.
You must register for the certification exam to ensure that you qualify.
Each certification has a set of criteria and required paperwork that you will be prompted to supply during registration. Each applicant will be evaluated by our Certification Advisory Commission and notified if they qualify to sit for the exam. Please note that each application is evaluated on a case-by-case basis.

Even if you do not have the exact criteria, it is possible that you may still qualify to sit for the exam. We recommend submitting your application regardless, and an AONN+ representative will contact you if additional information is required.
All applications for certification need to be evaluated prior to testing. Please allow enough time for submission.
Additionally, although the exam tests you on aspects of your job that you likely do on a daily basis, we recommend you give yourself plenty of time to study the modules and learning guides to adequately prepare for the exam.
AONN+ leadership is evaluating alternatives to provide certification opportunities. Additional details will be provided in the coming weeks.
Currently, AONN+ FFL certification exams are only offered at our conferences. You can become certified at our Midyear Conference or Annual Conference.

In general, a patient navigator provides assistance with identifying challenges to cancer care, identifying potential solutions with patients and families, identifying financial assistance to address patient needs, helping patients identify priority questions about their care, helping patients use time effectively with clinical providers and working with social work and nurse navigator colleagues to provide psychosocial and community support. A social worker or nurse may perform the role of a patient navigator, but, in this instance, they should discuss their scope of practice with their supervisor to ensure they perform duties within their hired role as opposed to within their clinical training.
No, AONN+ membership is open to all those who are involved in patient navigation and survivorship, including nurses, social workers, nonclicnical navigators, case managers, administrators, physicians, researchers, and others.
As with many things that are new and exciting, navigation is an area where many organizations have an interest in engaging and guiding the future of the profession and the role of the navigator. Organizations with a navigation focus take many forms and are approaching this profession from multiple points of view. Additionally, they have different goals and resources for supporting this community. Some examples of other organizations with an interest in the navigation profession include the following:
The resources provided by these organizations vary greatly and can be very valuable depending on your needs. The ways in which AONN+ differs can be summarized in 3 key points.
