Candidates will receive an email from CHC with instructions to coordinate the orientation. Orientations can be conducted virtually or by phone. Will I receive a certificate? Printed certificates are provided to newly passing candidates. Candidates who remain in good standing (those who complete annual recertification) receive an updated digital certificate each year. Digital certificates are available in the MyCHC/Certemy Digital Wallet for all new and existing Certified Classical Homeopaths. What is a psychometric evaluation? The CHC exam is designed to measure the entry level competence required to practice classical homeopathy. As part of the exam design process, determining the cut score (i.e., the score needed to pass) is undertaken by a panel of CCH-certified practitioners under the direction of Kryterion, an internationally recognized psychometric and testing consulting firm. The study sets a benchmark on a 182-scored items test (Up to 40 items on each test are pilot items that are incorporated into future exams; these items are not scored.) A modified Angoff methodology is used and, after reviewing data from the exam, a cut score on a scaled score of 100-300 is recommended by a panel of CHC certified Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) to the CHC Board. The CHC Board ratifies the recommendation. All versions of the test are statistically equated. What is the difference between a provisional score and a final score?

Certified Classical Homeopaths may recertify their CCH credential by meeting recertification requirements and the steps in MyCHC on or before December 31st. Recertifications completed in MyCHC after December 31st will accrue late fees. Late fees are as follows: If submitted between January 1st - Feb 28th: Recertification Fee: $170 Late Fee: $75 See the Recertification Handbook for additional details Do I have to recertify? Certified Classical Homeopaths (CCHs) are both licensed and non-licensed practitioners who are dedicated to the profession and achieve extensive training to meet the requirements for the CHC exam. CCHs have a sense of achievement and are proud to hold the credential as evidence of their professional competence. Active CCHs maintain their credential by gaining knowledge and expertise through annual practices, education, and volunteering in the homeopathic community, then completing an annual recertification process. Carrying the CCH credential promotes homeopathy as a recognized profession and equates homeopathy with other certified healthcare professions. An active CCH credential qualifies homeopaths to: Be listed in the Find a Homeopath directory Develop future certification exams and participate in task forces or CHC committees Be considered for nomination to the CHC Board of Directors Maintaining the CCH credential is evidence of a dedication to build professional knowledge An active certified homeopath is eligible for benefits that strengthens the community such as: Professional liability insurance Benefits offered by homeopathy organizations and pharmacies If recertification requirements are not met by December 31st recertification deadline, the CCH credential lapses, and the homeopath may no longer use the CCH credential. Reactivation of a lapsed credential is possible if the credential has been lapsed for two (2) years or less. Reactivation of a lapsed credential requires four actions: Complete and submit the CCH Credential Reactivation Form Upload documentation of 15 CEUs per lapsed year (see Recertification CEU Requirements) Pay $170 recertification per lapsed year(s) Pay $100 reactivation fee If the credential has been lapsed for more than two years, the credential is expired. Expired certificants may reactivate the credential by retaking the CHC Exam. Do I have to recertify if I passed the exam this year? Annual recertification is required for each Certified Classical Homeopath to maintain good standing status and is due on December 31st of the year following the year of the exam that the candidate passed. Example: Recertification for Certified Classical Homeopaths who took the exam in April 2022 is due December 31st, 2023 Recertification for Certified Classical Homeopaths who took the exam in October 2022 is due December 31st, 2023 What is recertification? CHC annual Recertification builds CCH practitioner knowledge beyond entry-level. Each year certificate holders recertify for homeopathy practice in the coming year by completing 15 continued educational units, annual attestations, and paying $170 by December 31st. When is recertification due? Annual recertification is required for each Certified Classical Homeopath to maintain good standing status and is due on December 31st of the year following the year of the exam that the candidate passed. Example: Recertification for Certified Classical Homeopaths who took the exam in April 2022 is due December 31st, 2023 Recertification for Certified Classical Homeopaths who took the exam in October 2022 is due December 31st, 2023 How much does it cost to recertify? To maintain the CCH credential in good standing, CCH holders must submit all recertification requirements by December 31st each year. Past due submissions accrue late fees. Recertification fees are as follows: If submitted between January 1st - Feb 28th: Recertification Fee: $170 Late Fee: $75 My credential lapsed. What does that mean? Learn more in the Recertification Handbook My credential expired. What does that mean? Learn more in the Recertification Handbook Why do I need CEUs? The recertification process requires CHC-certified practitioners to maintain and enhance skills and knowledge beyond the minimum competence achieved through initial certification. Through Continuing Professional Development (CPD), practitioners safeguard quality services for the general public and reinforce professional accountability to homeopathic and other healthcare communities. CPD involves two important steps: Participation in ACHENA-approved continuing education events or other approved activities that support professional development and personal growth to obtain continued education units (CEUs) Submission and evaluation of recertification requirements within a standardized process How do I get CEUs? Certified Classical Homeopaths obtain CEUs by participating in continuing education events or other approved activities that support professional development and personal growth. CEUs are categorized by: Category I: Attendance at or by completion of educational or approved professional programs and activities relevant to professional classical homeopathy practice (Min 10 Units/Year) Category II: Non-ACHENA approved, homeopathic programs and courses, and other qualifying activities not directly related to classical homeopathy but directly relevant to providing professional service to clients (Min 5 Units/Year) View All Approved CEU Activities How do I know if an activity or class is approved for CEU credits? Please contact the program director for the class or event that you are interested or enrolled in to confirm its ACHENA status or contact the Accreditation Commission for Homeopathic Education in North America (ACHENA) directly. View Approved Category I and II Activities More Info Recertification Handbook Download Earning CEUs (tri-fold brochure) How many CEUs do I need? View detailed CEU requirements in the Recertification Handbook What documentation do I need to prove my CEU? CEU Documentation: What's Need for Recertification? Each approved CEU activity requires unique documentation to upload for recertification, and not all activities will come with a certificate of attendance. For instance, CEU documentation for publishing a book will look much different than CEU documentation for attending a workshop. How do you know what information to upload? The rule of thumb is to provide information that will guide the Continued Professional Development (CPD) committee to view and confirm the approved activity, and to confirm that the activity was performed within the current recertification period. Examples of the type of information to upload: Name of approved activity or publication Location / URL Date of activity or published date Event contact info Flyer Certificate of attendance # of CEU units Documents should be uploaded into Certemy with as much description as possible so that the CPD committee can verify them quickly and easily. See the Recertification Handbook for detailed instructions, but if you need additional assistance, please contact us to schedule a one-on-one appointment. We are happy to help! Can I use leftover CEUs? Yes! Currently the maximum annual continued professional development requirement is 15 CEU. If you earned more than 15 CEU in a recertification cycle, you may choose to use the remaining CEU for the next recertification cycle, as long as the activity was within 24 months of the deadline. These are sometimes referred to as "carry-overs" or "roll-overs". How do I add or manage my Find a Provider listing?

Why does certification matter? The purpose of the CHC certification is 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 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. In which states is it legal to practice homeopathy? Please see https://nationalhealthfreedom.org/safe-harbor-laws CHC certification is not a requirement, nor a license, to practice in the US. However, many professional homeopaths choose this board-certified achievement and credential (CCH) to designate themselves as qualified practitioners. The CHC certification board certifies individuals who meet and maintain a recognized standard of professional and ethical competence in classical homeopathy. Several benefits of certification are as follows: CHC certification is important for consumers who are seeking credentialed homeopathic practitioners. Certification strengthens the homeopathic profession by supporting high standards of homeopathy practice. Certification promotes the growth and acceptance of homeopathy with a recognized standard of professional and ethical competence in classical homeopathy. NCCA third-party validation of practitioner expertise and standards equates homeopathy with other certified healthcare professions. Do I have to be certified to practice homeopathy legally in the U.S.?

View detailed CEU requirements in the Recertification Handbook What documentation do I need to prove my CEU? CEU Documentation: What's Need for Recertification? Each approved CEU activity requires unique documentation to upload for recertification, and not all activities will come with a certificate of attendance. For instance, CEU documentation for publishing a book will look much different than CEU documentation for attending a workshop. How do you know what information to upload? The rule of thumb is to provide information that will guide the Continued Professional Development (CPD) committee to view and confirm the approved activity, and to confirm that the activity was performed within the current recertification period. Examples of the type of information to upload: Name of approved activity or publication Location / URL Date of activity or published date Event contact info Flyer Certificate of attendance # of CEU units Documents should be uploaded into Certemy with as much description as possible so that the CPD committee can verify them quickly and easily. See the Recertification Handbook for detailed instructions, but if you need additional assistance, please contact us to schedule a one-on-one appointment. We are happy to help! Can I use leftover CEUs? Yes! Currently the maximum annual continued professional development requirement is 15 CEU. If you earned more than 15 CEU in a recertification cycle, you may choose to use the remaining CEU for the next recertification cycle, as long as the activity was within 24 months of the deadline. These are sometimes referred to as "carry-overs" or "roll-overs". How do I add or manage my Find a Provider listing?
