New in 2025:
• NESH received approval for accreditation with NANCEAC, the broad-reaching continuing education accrediting body for the naturopathic profession (including Category #1 for WA). Effective as of July 1, 2025.

We are always happy to provide a letter verifying your hours upon completion of any NESH courses for required CE purposes at no extra charge (extra hours beyond that or to verify optional course hours will be subject to a fee). We cannot guarantee whether your particular license in your particular state/country accepts such documentation other than as outlined below. Please give us ample notice of need prior to your filing deadline.
NESH STUDENTS: Please inform us if you have been able to use NESH hours and/or study with Drs. Herscu & Rothenberg – other than as specified below – so we can update this list for the benefit of others with similar continuing education or credentialing requirements.

The New England School of Homeopathy has been APPROVED by the following governing bodies for class hours to be counted towards their requirements:
• ABHM (American Board of Homeopathic Medicine) in conjunction with AIH (American Institute of Homeopathy): accepts NESH as an educational provider towards requirements for both DABHM and DHANP credentials **. The ABHM is the certifying board for the licensed homeopathic professions of medical, osteopathic, and naturopathic physicians, dentists, nurse practitioners, and physician assistants. The Diplomat of American Board of Homeopathic Medicine (DABHM), formerly known as Diplomate of Homeotherapeutics (DHt), is the oldest specialty status for homeopathic physicians in the United States.
• HANP (Homeopathic Association of Naturopathic Practitioners): NESH course hours were approved to be applied towards total requisite for DHANP designation and as required for CE’s (currently DHANP designation certification through ABHM).
• NASH (North American Society of Homeopaths): NESH course hours can be applied towards total requisite for RSHom(NA) designation ** and as required for CE’s. We understand that NASH has reciprocal agreements with a number of homeopathic organizations throughout the world including: Registered Homeopaths in Ontario, Registered practitioners of the Irish Society of Homeopaths, The Society of Homeopaths (UK), Australian Homoeopathic Association, the Alliance of Registered Homeopaths (UK), New Zealand Council of Homeopaths, and the State Councils of Homeopathy (India).
• NANCEAC (the North American Naturopathic Continuing Education Accreditation Council) – accredited NESH as of July 1, 2025.
• Vermont Office of Professional Regulation for Naturopathic Physicians – NESH is an approved CE provider for VT ND’s.
• Washington State ND’s: can use NESH hours towards general Category #2 CE requirements. Specific NANCEAC approved courses count as Category #1 events.
** A processing fee will apply for those seeking verification of ALL their NESH Course hours for the purpose of credentialing (beyond what is normally provided upon completion of any given course for CE purposes).
Governing bodies which require PRE-APPROVAL for each “Event”:
• California Board of Naturopathic Medicine: pre-approval required for CE’s, as noted here – however as of July 2023 they are no longer approving new courses that were not already approved in the past. (NANCEAC approval is also accepted by CBNM.) Prerecorded (asynchronous) hours will only be accepted as self-study hours with a max. of 15 CEs per renewal cycle. Live (synchronous) Webinars are counted as LIVE CE.
• CHC (Council for Homeopathic Education) for CCH renewal: for NESH course hours not otherwise specifically pre-approved by ACHENA, students can self-submit for approval with assistance from NESH. for Category I Homeopathic Activities.
• Oregon Board of Naturopathic Medicine: pre-approval required for CE’s. As of 2025 they are no longer accepting CE applications for online courses. NANCEAC approval is however accepted by OBNM.
• Various State ND Licensing Boards (such as in AZ, MA, ID, and NH): CE’s granted if approved by any other ND Licensing Body (such as CBNM and NANCEAC).
• NANCEAC (North American Naturopathic Continuing Education Accreditation Council): compliance paperwork needs to be filed in advance AND upon completion for each NESH course which will offer NANCEAC CE’s for both Live and Continuous CE Activities.
NESH hours, and/or study with Drs. Herscu & Rothenberg, have also been submitted by NESH students for the following:
• Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine: hours from NESH courses have been submitted to the National Certification Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (NCCAOM)
• Australian Register of Homeopaths
• British Register of Complementary Practitioners (BRCP): homeopaths studying with NESH (and Drs. Paul Herscu & Amy Rothenberg throughout Europe) have had their hours of study recognized in association with their MBRCP Hom designation. (We understand others have used hours as well for UK registering bodies such as the Society of Homeopaths, the Alliance of Homeopaths, and perhaps others.)
• Germany: courses offered in Germany with Dr. Paul Herscu have been accredited for the Ärztekammer Baden-Württemberg (the official MD board) and the DZVhÄ (the homeopathic doctors association) – both organizations require pre-approval for all courses and seminars.
• Maine: State of Maine Board of Complementary Healthcare Providers
• Nursing: among others, hours have been submitted by our student(s) to Massachusetts Board of Registration in Nursing.
• Occupational Therapy: hours from NESH courses have been submitted nationally to the AOTA (American Occupational Therapy Association) as well as for Vermont OT license renewal.
• Switzerland: homeopaths studying with NESH (and Drs. Paul Herscu & Amy Rothenberg throughout Europe) have had their hours of study recognized for CPD from the professional register or accreditation bodies in Switzerland.
• NOTE: use of NESH hours in this category are based on individual reports by our students. As such, we likely have no further details beyond what is noted above, nor can we make any guarantees the hours will be accepted.
