See Column 1's "Sites with Multiple Courses" if you have time to peruse. Most of these sites are training centers that offer continuing education for a variety of continuing education credits, of which some are for CECHs.

See Column 2's "Individual Courses with 1 or more Cat I CECHs" if you need to earn a specified number of CECHs to maintain your certification. I have included courses for differing number of CECHs for a variety of public health and health education topics of interest. But, just remember that 1 CECH is equivalent to about 1 hour of your time. If you did all of the ones listed, you will have earned 100 CECHs, which is more than the 75 CECHs required for the 5-year recertification cycle.

NOTE: If you are certified as a MCHES, you will need 30 "advanced CECHs" either in Cat I or II for recertification. I don't know of any free programs/courses offering Cat I advanced CECHs yet, but when I do I will post their availability on this page. See NCHEC's Policies and Procedures Handbook for Renewal and Recertification for details.

Please provide some feedback on the forms just above so I can make this page as useful as possible. Thanks, Betty
