Homeopathy certification and professional licensure are entering a new era—and graduates of ACHENA-accredited homeopathy schools are leading the way. The Academy of Homeopathy Education (AHE)—an ACHENA-accredited program—now qualifies you for Board Certification through the North American Homeopathic Examiners (NAHE) and Professional Licensure through the Arizona Board of Homeopathic and Integrated Medicine Examiners (AHIME).
These credentials are designed to elevate ethical, evidence-informed, and traditionally grounded homeopathic practice and are available exclusively to those trained in accredited homeopathy schools
Certified Homeopathic Practitioner (CHP)
The Certified Homeopathic Practitioner (CHP) credential is board certification exclusive to graduates of ACHENA-accredited programs.
- Exam Requirement: Successful completion of the Homeopathic Practitioner Licensing Exam (HPLEX), or the CHC exam if taken prior to May 2025.
- Standards of Practice: CHP certificants commit to Hahnemannian principles, setting them apart from individuals using unvetted protocols, polypharmacy, or non-homeopathic “detox” methods.
This credential signals a high level of professional training and clinical accountability, helping to protect the integrity of homeopathy in modern healthcare.
Licensed Homeopathic Practitioner (LHP)
The Licensed Homeopathic Practitioner (LHP) credential is available through the Arizona Board of Homeopathic and Integrated Medicine Examiners (AHIME)
- Eligibility: U.S. legal residency, graduation from an ACHENA-accredited program, and successful completion of the HPLEX or CHC exam.
- Professional Value: The LHP provides a state-sanctioned, consumer-trusted credential, representing a meaningful step forward in regulatory recognition for qualified homeopaths.
