These resources include the continuing education classes (CEU’s) for all our certification programs, reports, virtual summits. The program has an annual renewal fee of $150.00, which are set on an auto-billing and auto-renewal cycle from the enrollment date.
Are there continuing education requirements for certification?
The program recommends you complete a minimum of two (2) advanced and three (3) intermediate courses annually. Each participant must maintain the minimum educational requirements to be in good standing with the designation. If you do not complete your continuing education requirements you will be listed as non-compliant until your certification education requirements are current. Being non-compliant does not exonerate you from your annual renewal fees. You will be automatically enrolled in a continuing education subscription plan. If you no longer need this designation, you must cancel your designation following the relinquishment guidelines to avoid any responsibility in the upcoming renewal fees.
How can I meet continuing education requirements?
We have over 300+ hours of continuing education classes in our learning management system that you can access on-demand. You can attend one of our live virtual summits (webinars), which are held monthly, or watch them on-demand at your leisure after the date. You can submit content from other educational sessions to be reviewed by our educational board to receive CE credits. You can also attend our annual conference and obtain your CEUs live at the event.
When does my certification become active?
Your certification will become active as soon as you pass the exam. However, the subscription to the Continuing Education modules starts from the moment the account is created.
What is the purpose of taking an exam?
The exam is designed by HR professionals to make sure that you understand and have retained the information outlined in the educational sessions and online courses. It’s also a key factor that differentiates our certification from others in that it gives the program much more valuable as it allows you to test your skills for learning and proves that you’ve personally gained the knowledge for certification. Most importantly, it shows prospective employers that you’ve done your due diligence in learning what is most important in healthcare reform and its effect on your benefits and healthcare programs.
Who are the certification course instructors?
Our program is unique because our instructors are human resource and wellness specialists in the field of health & well-being who understand the timeline of implementation of different laws, the landscape of well-being programs and the pillars of well-being. The program does not cover theoretical or hypothetical situations. They are not vendors, service providers, or consultants who are selling the services. Participants are learning best practices from actual industry professionals that are experts in understanding current trends, rules, and regulations.
How was this certification created and how is it different from others I’ve seen in the industry?
The Corporate Health & Wellness Association spent the over a decade developing the Certified Corporate Wellness Specialist® certification. We partnered with senior leaders from some of the most successful industry leading companies to incorporate industry best practices. In collaboration with one another, we’ve put together very topical and industry-specific information for this program. The certification was created as the main source of information for employers, consultants, health insurance agents, insurance companies, healthcare providers, governmental entities, and other industry stakeholders. It’s designed to provide a central point of education and information for the implications of the industry. Our Certified Corporate Wellness Specialist® course is the most comprehensive program available and will give you an actual designation that will not only be helpful to build your knowledge base but also develop you into a more marketable individual. Recipients of the certification must pass a comprehensive exam showing a thorough understanding of healthcare reform current trends, rules, and regulations. Certification is not granted to those who simply “sit in” on the certification programs. Exam questions are developed through the Corporate Wellness and Education Committee which is made up of professionals who are experts in wellness. Our program offers continuing education credits to ensure that participants stay up-to-date on industry best practices and case studies.

When can I take my certification exam?
