The purposes of the CHC certification are to advance the homeopathic profession by certifying individuals who meet and maintain a recognized standard of professional and ethical competence in classical homeopathy and to assist the general public in choosing appropriately qualified homeopaths.

 

The CHC Exam is a valid and reliable measure of an individual’s knowledge and skill in classical homeopathy required for an entry-level certified practitioner of homeopathy. The CHC is accredited by the National Commission for Certifying Agencies (NCCA) and is the only accredited certification organization in homeopathy. Individuals who have met the CHC Homeopathic Educational Requirements are eligible to take the exam.

Since its inception, the CHC has certified over 1100 certificants. Currently, there are over 600 CCHs in good standing. Members of the public may verify that a CHC-certified homeopath is in good standing by visiting the the CHC Registry. 

The CHC Certification Exam is offered twice yearly, Monday-Friday, in April and October. Registration is open for seven weeks prior to the exam month. Exam costs include a $35 application fee and the $500 exam fee ($325 for retake exams). The exam must be taken in the US or Canada.
