C.H.E.K Institute Admits It: The “75,000 Practitioners” Number Is Not What You Think
They’ve been saying it for years — “75,000 practitioners worldwide.” But what does the fine print actually say?
C.H.E.K Institute Admits It: The “75,000 Practitioners” Number Is Not What You Think
What They Claim
“75,000+ practitioners globally trust the C.H.E.K Institute“
What Their Own Website Actually Says
“75,000+ reflects cumulative global participation across its programs over decades rather than a verified count of currently active or practicing credential holders.”
In plain English:
• It is NOT 75,000 active practitioners
• It is NOT 75,000 licensed professionals
• It is EVERYONE who has ever taken ANY course, workshop, or program since 1995 — combined
• Most of those people are NOT currently licensed — the license system has only existed for a few years
• Most of those people are NOT practicing — they simply attended a course at some point in 30 years

Fact 2: The Qualifications Are Not Externally Recognised
“C.H.E.K certifications are private organizational certificates. They are not statutory credentials — not officially recognised by government bodies, national healthcare regulators, or standard institutional employers.”
What this means:
• They are private certificates — not government or nationally regulated qualifications
• Employers and regulators do not officially recognise them
• Their value is determined entirely by the Institute itself — not by independent standards
Fact 3: The License System — Pay To Stay Listed
“Practitioners pay ongoing license or registration fees to maintain active directory status and use course materials. Critics argue this conflates basic course completion with elite professional status.”
What this means:
• You pay thousands for the courses
• Then you pay yearly license fees just to stay on their directory
• Without that annual payment — you’re removed
• Critics say this creates a system where maintaining “active status” is about paying fees, not maintaining standards
Fact 4: Industry Scrutiny On The Numbers
“Independent industry watchdogs highlight discrepancies between the massive global numbers claimed in marketing and the actual volume of publicly verifiable active practitioners.”
The bottom line:
75,000 course participants over 30 years ≠ 75,000 active practitioners today.
Private organisational certificates ≠ nationally recognised qualifications.
Yearly license fees to stay listed ≠ independent professional accreditation.
