If I earn the CoreCHI-P™ credential, will I be able to apply CE hours I’ve already earned to my new renewal cycle?

The following transitional renewal policy is in effect from March 14, 2023, until the transition to the CoreCHI-Performance™ credential for CoreCHI™ certificants becomes mandatory. CCHI will provide the specific expiration date for this policy at that time.

CoreCHI™ certificants may transfer up to 16 CE hours obtained within 12 months prior to the date of receiving the CoreCHI-P™ credential to the CoreCHI-P™ renewal cycle. Documentation of these CE hours must be re-uploaded to the CoreCHI-P™ renewal application. This is a one-time transfer only. Starting with the second renewal cycle, all 32 CE hours must be earned during that renewal cycle.

All other CE requirements are the same as for any other CCHI certificant.

Example. A CoreCHI certificant has a CoreCHI renewal date of May 5, 2023. However, they earned the CoreCHI-P credential on April 5, 2023, so their new renewal cycle is April 5, 2023 – April 4, 2027. They can re-upload documentation of up to 16 CE hours earned between April 5, 2022 and April 4, 2023 to the new CoreCHI-P renewal application. After that, in the next 4 years, i.e., by April 4, 2027, they must earn only 16 CE hours. Out of the total of 32 CE hours, 4 hours must be performance-based (PB), and they can be earned at any time between April 5, 2022 and April 4, 2027.
