The Certified Health Care Advisor™ (CHCA®) designation is now available through online testing on WebCE's learning and testing platform, a move that significantly broadens access to a credential focused on healthcare-related financial and insurance planning. The announcement, made by Certified Health Care Advisor, LLC and WebCE, means candidates can complete their certification exam from virtually anywhere, on their own schedule, while preserving the integrity and rigor of the certification process.
The shift to online testing matters because it removes longstanding barriers that have kept many working professionals from pursuing specialized credentials. Professionals in insurance and financial planning often face rigid exam schedules and travel requirements that conflict with demanding client workloads. By offering secure, on-demand access to the exam through WebCE's platform, the partnership allows candidates to earn the CHCA designation without sacrificing time away from their practices. That flexibility could accelerate the rate at which advisors obtain the credential and bring specialized healthcare planning expertise to a wider market.
Beyond convenience, the collaboration delivers tangible professional benefits. Eligible candidates may receive continuing education (CE) credit associated with certification coursework, helping them satisfy ongoing licensing and professional development requirements while deepening their industry expertise. This dual advantage—earning a specialized designation while meeting CE obligations—makes the CHCA pathway more efficient for professionals who must balance multiple compliance deadlines each year. Candidates also gain access to WebCE's extensive catalog of licensing, continuing education, certification, and industry-specific training content, which supports professionals throughout every stage of their careers. That access transforms the certification from a one-time exam into an ongoing educational relationship.
Mark Saper, President of Certified Health Care Advisor, LLC, framed the partnership as a direct response to the needs of working professionals. "Our goal has always been to make high-quality professional education more accessible and valuable to working professionals," Saper said. "By partnering with WebCE, we are removing barriers to certification while providing candidates with additional educational resources, CE opportunities, and a streamlined path to professional growth."
The implications extend beyond individual advisors. The CHCA designation is designed for professionals seeking specialized knowledge and credibility in healthcare-related financial and insurance planning, an area of growing complexity as individuals, families, and businesses confront increasingly difficult healthcare decisions. A certification that demonstrates commitment to understanding these issues helps advisors differentiate themselves in a crowded marketplace and deliver greater value to clients. By making the credential easier to obtain, the online testing option could raise the overall standard of healthcare planning expertise across the financial services industry.
Through the WebCE platform, candidates benefit from a modern learning experience, simplified exam administration, immediate access to educational resources, and comprehensive support throughout the certification process. For a profession that must continuously adapt to regulatory changes and evolving client needs, that combination of accessibility and rigor represents a meaningful step forward. The partnership positions both organizations to serve a broader audience while advancing the shared goal of expanding minds and elevating careers through accessible online education.
