Application Cycles
CHSE-A® applications are now reviewed in two application cycles every year. Applicants should submit their applications prior to the application deadlines each year.
- March 1: Applications are due; reviews are completed over the next two months with notifications being made by May 1.
- September 1: Applications are due; reviews are completed over the next two months with notifications being made by November 1.
Application Process
The CHSE-A® application is separate from the CHSE® renewal process. There are a few key points the applicant should understand:
- The CHSE-A® if granted assumes the CHSE® expiration dates (no matter how much time is left).
- The applicant should renew their CHSE® if they are close to their expiration date and are applying for CHSE-A®.
- The fees for the CHSE-A® application are separate from the CHSE® renewal fee and both must be paid.
- Alternatively, if CHSE-A® is granted and the certificant must now renew, the renewal fee still applies and must be paid.
