What school programs qualify for CHC training hours?
We are sometimes asked what programs will be suitable for our prerequisites for homeopathic education. The CHC does not evaluate training programs; we certify homeopaths. However, it is probably best to combine educational opportunities from a variety of sources to experience the richness of homeopathic training that is available today. We suggest a combination of formal school programs and seminars. For information on schools, look in the Training section of the National Centerfor Homeopathy website: www.nationalcenterforhomeopathy.org.

Can I take the CHC certification exam if I live outside of North America?
No. At this time we only offer the certification exam for those in North American countries and the islands surrounding it. These countries are within the domain of the North American Society of Homeopaths, an organization of professional homeopaths that requires successful completion of the CHC exam for registered membership.

I am looking for a teaching or clinical position as a homeopath. Can the CHC help me find one or refer me to someone who can?
No. The CHC does not have any information about work situations for homeopaths.

I am interested in coming to the U.S. or Canada to practice. Can the CHC help me with immigration questions or visa questions? Will having CHC certification entitle me to work in the US legally?
No. The CHC does not have any information about immigration or visas, and the CHC certification does not grant any licensure or right to work in the US or Canada. The certification is a credential attesting to homeopathic competence, and is separate from any legal requirements regarding work and licensure.

Why are there so few locations where the exam is given in person?
Most people who take the exam prefer not to travel, and so they choose to have the exam proctored in a location in their home city. Since very few people were taking the exam in the locations the CHC offered, these were reduced.
