CoreCHI-Performance™ Certification is Accredited by NCCA!

We’re overjoyed to announce that the CoreCHI-Performance™ (CoreCHI-P™) certification has been accredited by the National Commission for Certifying Agencies (NCCA) for five years! This prestigious recognition affirms that the CoreCHI-P credential meets the rigorous NCCA Standards for the Accreditation of Certification Programs, reflecting modern standards of practice for the certification industry.

NCCA, the accrediting body of the Institute for Credentialing Excellence, has upheld these standards since 1977 and most recently updated them in 2021. CCHI now joins an elite group of 130+ organizations and 310+ programs accredited by the NCCA, representing excellence across a range of diverse allied health professions, from nurses to EMTs to counselors and beyond. CCHI is the only organization certifying interpreters that has its certification programs accredited by NCCA: CoreCHI, CoreCHI-Performance, and CHI-Spanish!

The CoreCHI-P™ credential stands out as the ONLY accredited performance certification for interpreters of ANY language! This 7-year journey from concept to validation is a groundbreaking achievement and a major step forward for healthcare interpreting and health equity.

We extend our heartfelt gratitude to:

• The interpreters who participated in the trailblazing EtoE Study and the study sponsors,
• The subject matter experts (SMEs) who developed the EtoE exam,
• Our past and current Commissioners for their vision and steadfast support,
• All of our certificants whose trust and commitment fuel our mission, and
• Our Executive Director Natalya Mytareva, whose tireless dedication and expertise guided the exam development and accreditation application process to success!

This recognition is not just about meeting standards; it’s about setting them. Here’s to many more milestones to come!
