What is a CHEK Correspondence Course?

The C.H.E.K Institute’s Correspondence Courses are available on DVD or online via our e-Learning platform. They allow you to participate in a seminar without having to leave your home! Each offline course comes with a DVD or set of DVDs and a comprehensive manual. The online courses have the same content that is accessible to you once you purchase access to the course through the e-Learning platform. Simply watch the videos and follow along in the manual, taking extra notes as needed. Practice all exercises or assessment techniques so you become familiar with the concepts presented. Then take the multiple choice / short-answer test, either online where it is graded automatically, or in the manual and return it to the C.H.E.K Institute for grading. A certificate of completion will be sent to those who score 80% or better. Now it’s easier than ever to expand your knowledge and earn CECs!

Can you share the CHEK DVD Correspondence Courses?

If two or more people wish to take a course and share one set of DVDs, we have a special program for you. Purchase the first course at the regular price (complete with manual and DVDs), and get 50% off the regular price for all additional students (one manual provided per student). We recommend no more than 10 people to share one set of DVDs to ensure the best learning experience. There is no limit on when the extra manuals can be purchased. Designed especially for gyms wishing to train staff or friends wanting to study together.
