Accreditation vs. Certification: What’s the Difference?
CHWG Accreditation (For Businesses)
Accreditation is earned by companies that meet CHWG’s strict requirements. It’s a full vetting process that establishes a business as professional, trustworthy, and accountable.
To become accredited, a business must:
-
Pass a criminal background check on all company principals
-
Undergo consumer affairs and BBB inquiries
-
Verify all required business licenses at the provincial, municipal, or local level
-
Provide proof of ongoing liability insurance and bonding
-
Adhere to CHWG best practices and Code of Ethics
Accredited businesses are reviewed annually to maintain their status, ensuring standards are always upheld.
CHWP: Certified Home Watch Professional (For Individuals)
Certification is earned by people—principals or employees—who complete training and prove their expertise in Home Watch.
To become a Certified Home Watch Professional (CHWP):
-
The individual must work for or own a CHWG-accredited company
-
Meet hands-on experience requirements
-
Complete CHWG’s core and regional training curriculum
-
Pass the official CHWG certification exam
-
Recertify every 2 years with continuing education and a renewal exam
Accreditation = Business credibility.
Certification = Personal expertise.
