SOPHE Distance Learning Opportunities

National SOPHE is among the largest provider of continuing education for CHES. SOPHE submits two reports to the National Commission for Health Education Credentialing (NCHE each year containing all national SOPHE sponsored, chapter sponsored or self study continuing education events. One report is submitted by July 15 for all continuing education events approved and conducted beginning Jan 1 – June 30 of that calendar year, and another report submitted by Jan 15 of the proceding year for all continuing education events approved and conducted beginning July 1 – Dec 30. Therefore, your transcript may not immediately reflect CECH earned for national SOPHE, chapter and SOPHE self study events. We ask that you maintain your Certificate of Attendance for any SOPHE sponsored event in your files until you see it reported on your transcript. If you have questions, please contact the national SOPHE office (202) 408-9804.
