AHE Preferred Education Provider (PEP) Application

BEFORE COMPLETING THIS APPLICATION, PLEASE READ THE PEP GUIDE BY CLICKING HERE.


The AHE PEP program identifies organizations (e.g. AHE Chapters and other for-profit and nonprofit organizations) to offer Continuing Education Credits (CECs) for education sessions. These credits can be used towards renewal of the CHESP certification, renewal of the T-CHEST, T-CSCT, T-CNACC designations, and renewal of the CHEST and CSCT certifications. CECs can also be used to fulfill application requirements for the AHE Fellow recognition programs.


In addition to the online application, the following documentation (Word document, .pdf, etc.) MUST be attached for EACH education session. Incomplete applications will be returned.


  • Session title
  • Session description
  • Learning objectives (minimum of 3)
  • Faculty/speaker name(s)
  • Faculty/speaker biography/ies

Once approved, preferred education providers are responsible for monitoring attendance and providing proof of attendance to all participants. A CEC certificate template will be provided.
