Certification

Certification is a process by which an organization trains, evaluates, and recognizes an individual as meeting predetermined requirements. In natural health there are several key areas we believe are the foundation of all other information and concepts. Additional modalities such as Homeopathy or Aromatherapy can be better understood upon mastering the elements of general health.

CNHP requires five seminars as the basis of our certification. Each certification seminar deals with a particular area of learning needed to become a Certified Natural Health Professional. Candidates are to attend and complete five certification seminars on the various theories and techniques used by natural health practitioners. Each seminar is led by a competent, experienced, and dedicated instructor. A minimum of thirteen hours of study, classroom participation, and practical demonstration is required in order to become certified. Initial certification is dependent upon the successful completion of a written exam given at the end of most seminars.

The five certification seminars are:

Nutrition - Covers the basic elements of health such as proteins, carbohydrates, vitamins, and minerals

Body Systems - Understanding the organs, glands, and tissues that handle all bodily processes

Iridology - Discovering weakened areas of the body quickly and accurately

Body Work - Bringing the structural aspect of the body into balance for a better impact on health

Practicum - Combining the legal, emotional, and practical aspects of discussing health with others

While good students never stop learning, the information in these seminars provides the student with the hands-on application of traditional natural health information, concepts, and strategies. To maintain certification, graduates must attend a minimum of one CNHP Capstone per year.

What are Capstones?

Capstone seminars are designed to be more advanced and to enhance the learning from the foundational Certification seminars or previous experience. Each Capstone is designed to bring awareness of additional specific techniques. A qualified instructor will guide the students in detail from start to finish on a certain topic so that they may immediately begin utilizing this new information.

All graduates of the CNHP Certification program must attend a minimum of one Capstone each year as continuing education to maintain Certification status.

Capstones are open to all students, and while there are no prerequisites, a basic understanding of natural health as is found in the seminars for CNHP Certification is recommended.
