The Board reached something of a milestone this month with the awarding of CHT certificate number 4,500. This impressive number has been achieved over a 28 year period, the first certificate being awarded in October 1991.
Online testing at accredited centers in the U.S. and overseas continues to account for all new applicants, with a test frequency averaging every other day.
