I hold both CHI™ and CoreCHI-Performance™ credentials with the same LOTE (Language Other Than English). How do I renew my credentials?

The following procedural rules apply to certificants who hold both CHI™ and CoreCHI-Performance™ credentials with the same LOTE (Language Other Than English):

a)      If a CHI certificant is awarded the CoreCHI-P credential, they can only have the CoreCHI-P credential active as long as their CHI certification is active. In other words, failure to renew the CHI certification will result in automatic termination of the CoreCHI-P credential.

b)     The same 32 CE hours and 40 work experience hours can be submitted for renewal of both credentials.

c)      To align the expiration dates for the two credentials and simplify the renewal process, the certificant will need to:

• Submit the CHI renewal application first, with the full renewal application fee (see Fees).
• Submit the CoreCHI-P renewal application within 30 days of submitting the CHI renewal application. The CoreCHI-P renewal fee in this case is $30 (in 2023, subject to change).
• For the CoreCHI-P renewal application, upload a statement that the CHI credential renewal application has been submitted. See CCHI’s template “First Credential Renewal Attestation” available here as a PDF file OR here as an MS Word file.

Meeting the above requirements will reset the CoreCHI-P expiration date to the same expiration date as the CHI credential, and the certificant will be on the same four-year renewal cycle for both.
