How to become a recognized Training Vendor?

A unique INCHWA Partner

When INCHWA recognizes your CHW training program, it means:

​

·       Public endorsement of your training, confirming alignment with both state and national CCHW standards

·       Each student will receive an official, INCHWA-issued e-certificate upon successful completion of the training—portable, easily shareable, and verifiable for employers and professional networks.

·       Inclusion of a $40 INCHWA membership fee within your program tuition, granting each graduate a 1-year membership and enrollment processing into the INCHWA Public Health Heroes' Network.

​

To receive INCHWA recognition for your CHW training program, you must complete a two-step approval process:

​

·       Part 1: Training Vendor Approval – Meet the organizational and operational requirements to be recognized as an approved training provider

·       Part 2: Curriculum and Delivery Review – Ensure your training content and instructional methods align with INCHWA’s standards for CHW education and best practices
