      ACP Designation

      The Automotive Content Professional (ACP) designation program was created through a special partnership between ACPN and the University of the Aftermarket (Northwood University). This program codifies the skills and experience that today’s content managers should possess. The ACP designation is awarded each year at a ceremony during the ACPN community learning tracks at the annual Auto Care Connect conference.
