Under certain circumstances we will consider providing certification to course graduates who are in the process of obtaining their license or who have alternative credentials.
For example, you may apply if you are a clinician completing licensure requirements by doing an internship, if you are a certified health coach, a diabetes educator, a nurse or other health and para health professional, or if you are practicing internationally under different credentials.
We consider these certification requests on a case-by-case basis.
Certification does not warrant that a program or its examination certifies a candidate’s competence. Nothing about this program or its examination is intended to replace, override, or conflict with licensing requirements for health professionals and their requirements for practice in their state of residency and practice.
This certification does not license you to practice.
