Frequently Asked Questions

When have I completed an Advanced Training Program?
You have completed an Advanced Training Program when you have passed the take-home final exam. The
date you completed the first ATP in that Qualification is the date you will use for renewal.

What can I use for my PDCs?

• Your 1st ATP taken with the C.H.E.K Institute cannot be used for PDCs towards the renewal. All ATPs
after the first can be used towards the renewal. PDCs for the 2016 renewal must be completed between
December 16, 2014 and December 15, 2016.
• There are 2 PDC Groups. Please refer to page 5 for detailed information.
Please Note: C.H.E.K Institute webinars and Q & A calls cannot be used for PDCs unless there is an exam included.

Do I have to send a separate Renewal Application Form for each Advanced Training Program I have
completed?
No, you may submit one Renewal Application Form for all Advanced Training Programs completed. The renewal
fee will be determined by the number of ATP Qualifications you are renewing. Please refer to page 2.

What if I miss the December 15, 2016 deadline?

• You will lose your status as a C.H.E.K Institute Trained Professional.
• You will be unable to enroll in any higher level C.H.E.K Institute Advanced Training Programs in that category.

calls).
• To renew your status after December 15, 2016, you will be required to pass a renewal exam or submit a case
history for each Qualification in question, at the posted exam fee, or you may retake each of the highest level
Advanced Training Programs that you have completed, at 40% off of the posted tuition.
