What is the difference between a CHW and CHW Instructor certification course?
Both the Community Health Worker course as well as the Community Health Worker Instructor course consist of 160 hours, however the CHW course focuses on understanding and utilizing the 8 core competencies with community members and is a more hands-on course while the CHW Instructor course focuses on instruction and teaching of the 8 core competencies and is self-paced.
Can non-Texas residents complete a certification course?
The NCHWTC certification program is open to students from anywhere, but students can only apply for a certificate from the Texas Department of State Health Services’ CHW/Promotora Training and Certification Program if they are a Texas resident. All students will receive a certificate of completion from our training center, regardless of residency, while only Texas residents will be able to apply for a state certification.
