A fee of $350.00 must accompany this application.

This amount includes a NON-REFUNDABLE application processing fee of $50.00,  and the examination fee of $300.00 which is refundable upon request; (request for a refund must be received by the CHC no less than six weeks before the upcoming examination date).

  An additional administrative fee of $50.00 must be paid to the CHC by any candidate who takes the examination, proctored, in a different location than the CHC office in San Francisco (or other location that the CHC has formally announced).  Professional proctoring arrangements may be made at local colleges, universities, or libraries—but not at schools or colleges at which homeopathy is taught. Candidates are also responsible for all fees required by the proctor.

 _____  I would like to have the examination proctored & agree to pay the additional fee  to the CHC, as         well as  all other costs involved in the proctoring arrangement.

I acknowledge that I have received and read a copy of the Code of Ethics of the Council for Homeopathic Certification (CHC).  I agree to follow the principles set forth therein and to commit myself to the growth of my profession and to my own professional growth. I agree to abide by the rules and procedures established by the CHC for the certification process, and further agree to be bound by any decisions made by the board of directors of the CHC, regarding any and all aspects of the certification it provides.

I understand that certification by the CHC is not in any way to be represented as equivalent to licensure as a health care provider.  I agree not to misrepresent the nature of the CHC certification to anyone, either publicly or privately.
