Read the first 7 Eligibility Requirements flashcards as text

  1. A CCHP applicant who is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) asks if counseling experience at a community reentry program (post-release) qualifies. What is the best answer?

    Answer: Possibly, but NCCHC may scrutinize whether the setting is classified as a correctional facility versus a community organization

    NCCHC focuses on experience within correctional facilities; community reentry programs are outside the secure perimeter and may not fully qualify, requiring case-by-case review.

  2. Which of the following statements about the CCHP application fee is most accurate?

    Answer: The fee is generally non-refundable once the application is submitted

    NCCHC's application fees are typically non-refundable, meaning applicants should ensure they meet eligibility criteria before submitting.

  3. An applicant who previously failed the CCHP exam wants to retake it. Which limitation should they be aware of?

    Answer: NCCHC typically requires a waiting period between examination attempts

    NCCHC generally imposes a mandatory waiting period between examination attempts to allow candidates time to address knowledge gaps.

  4. A candidate is currently under investigation by their state licensing board. Can they apply for CCHP during the investigation?

    Answer: Yes, but they must disclose the investigation on the application

    NCCHC applications typically include a disclosure requirement; applicants must report open investigations, and NCCHC evaluates eligibility on a case-by-case basis.

  5. Which of the following best explains why NCCHC requires a professional license as part of CCHP eligibility?

    Answer: To ensure applicants have met a recognized standard of professional competence in their health discipline

    The license requirement ensures that CCHP holders have already demonstrated baseline competency through their profession's regulatory process before seeking specialty certification.

  6. A health administrator who holds a Master of Health Administration (MHA) degree but is not a licensed clinician applies for CCHP. What is the most likely outcome?

    Answer: Denied, because CCHP requires a current, unrestricted clinical or healthcare professional license or certification

    An advanced degree in health administration does not satisfy the professional license or certification requirement; applicants must hold a recognized healthcare credential.

  7. How does NCCHC define 'full-time equivalent' (FTE) experience for CCHP eligibility purposes?

    Answer: The equivalent of 40 hours per week of correctional health work over a 12-month period

    One FTE year equals 40 hours per week for 52 weeks (approximately 2,080 hours); part-time work is prorated proportionally to reach this total.
