REQUIREMENTS FOR AUTHORIZATION

TO TEACH CHEMISTRY FOR CARE

For those taking this class with the intent of ultimately teaching Chemistry for CARE, the latest revision of the CCI Handbook (21st edition), states the following:

  • Chem-Authorized Instructor

    A CI, CCI, or SCCI who has been officially authorized by CARE to teach Essential Oil Chemistry Classes (6 hours) for CARE Credit. To become a Chem-Authorized Instructor, one must fulfill the following two requirements:

    (1) Attend a 3- or 4-day CARE Chemistry Instructors Workshop; and

    (2) Arrange to teach a practice CARE Chemistry Class in the presence of a CARE Chem Examiner.

    The Practice CARE Chemistry Class is not an official CARE class for credit and must have a minimum of three students present. Arrangements are to be made for the observing Chem-Authorized CCI to be reimbursed for all travel/lodging (if necessary) and to receive a non-refundable fee.

    Chem-Authorized Status is a special appointment granted by CARE based on considerations of each individual applicant. Anyone who has taken the CARE Chemistry Class for 6 hours credit is eligible to take the 3-day Advanced Chemistry Workshop, but to teach chemistry for CARE, one must be at least a CARE Intern.

    CARE maintains the right to revoke such authorization for cause at any time. To maintain Chem-Authorized status, the CI or CCI must teach at least two official CARE Chemistry classes per year with a minimum of 3 students each.

  • CARE Chem Examiner

    One authorized to proctor a Chem Practice Class by having taught at least 6 official CARE Chem classes and having participated in at least one CARESS teleconference considering a pass/fail decision for a Chem Candidate’s performance.

SCHEDULING YOUR CHEM PRACTICE CLASS

For those planning to go on to become a Chem-Authorized CARE Instructor, See the end of this memo for details of scheduling your Chemistry Practice Class.

CHEM WORKSHOP FEES

The Chem Workshop costs $800 payable to CARE. Registrations are taken on a first come basis. Preregistration required. Preference is given to CIs and CCIs taking the Workshop for the first time. Credit cards are okay. Register by phone (800) 758-8629 or by check via US Mail.

The $800 must be paid in full before one can be considered as a registered participant. Checks and/or credit cards okay. Full address, phone, and email required with registration. Make checks payable to CARE. The fee for repeat students is $400, payable in advance.

Similar professional, in-depth workshops can cost from $1000-$1500. When you begin teaching the CARE Chemistry class, the ala carte price is $250 (USD) for the 6-hour course. At this price you can earn your $800 workshop fee back with the first 4-5 students who take your chemistry class.

REQUIRED TEXTS AND DVDS

YOUR CHEM PRACTICE CLASS

Your Chem Practice Class must be taught in the presence of a Chem-Authorized CARE Instructor who is also a CARE Chem Examiner. Details of scheduling, fees, expenses, etc., are to be worked out with the specific Observing Instructor you choose. There is a $300-$400 examiners fee payable to the Class Observer. You must also cover any travel or lodging expenses they may incur.

The Observation Class is not for CARE Credit, even though it will follow the same format as given in the Chem Class Outline, pp. 740-751. It will normally start at 8:30 am and finish at 4:30 pm with a lunch break of 1 hour, with a total of 7 hours of teaching. There must be a minimum of three people taking the class (not including the observer). There is no fee for the student participants to take the class. It is FREE. Neither do they earn any credit and no certificates are given.

The Chem-Authorized Candidate is to provide all necessary oils, Legos, and class notes, which are to include a copy of the Periodic Table and Chem Course Outline as given in the text.

Chemistry Books are to be provided to all participants. These may be copies they already own, ones they purchase from you, or your Chem Examiner at the beginning of the class, or copies loaned to them for the class. Chem-Authorized Candidates may purchase books from CARE for resale for up to 40% discount. In many cases, the Chem Examiner will provide the chem books for sale and keep the profits. Work this out in advance with your CARE Examiner as to whether you or they will provide books for sale.

The Chem Authorized Candidate is responsible for arranging a suitable place with tables, chairs, white board/flip chart, and all other necessities for teaching the Practice Chem Class.
Upon completion of the class, the Observing Chem Examiner will go over any changes or corrections that need to be made in your presentation. If it is their first Chem Class proctorship, they will then contact the CARE Support Services Committee (CARESS) and discuss your performance at which time the decision of pass/fail will be made by the Observing CCI and CARESS. Otherwise, they may let you know immediately if you have passed or failed. It is at their discretion whether to consult with the CARESS committee if it is NOT their first time proctoring a Chem Class. The decision for pass or fail, and/or any conditions to be made in the decision, will be delivered to you by your Observing Chem Examiner. This process can take a couple of weeks depending on the availability of the CARESS members to confer in a teleconference. There is a $50 fee to convene the CARESS Committee, remitted by the Examining CCI, to be included in the Examining Fee they charge to the Candidate.

Do not schedule a CARE Class to teach Chemistry until you have been notified of a successful pass. Upon a positive notification for your Practice Class, you will be authorized to schedule and teach CARE Chemistry classes and post such on the CARE Website.
