“I have enjoyed using CORE as my primary source for CEUs for my CHES certification. It is convenient, quick in getting your results back, and I have never had a problem with my CEUs not being reported to NCHEC. It also comparably cost-effective when compared to other CHES/MCHES providers. I highly recommend CORE for my fellow CHES/MCHES health educators.”

Michael Wiblishauser, PhD, CHES
