Frequently-Asked-Questions

Who are the certification courses for?

  • The Certification courses were made for everybody, regardless of a person’s background, even if you’ve forgotten what you learned in elementary school or if you are a medical professional with a scientific background. Many of our graduates range from hydrogen researchers, health practitioners, online coaches, stay at home parents, salespeople and other hydrogen enthusiasts. They are written in simple-to-understand language, but provide a helpful understanding of this subject.

What does it mean to be MHI Certified?

  • These certifications indicate a person’s commitment to supporting the research of molecular hydrogen. It is a badge of honor and shows the character and integrity of a person’s desire to advance the research of molecular hydrogen. Earning this certification underscores a person’s desire to learn and share accurate information. They become part of the MHI community and as such, are part of the hydrogen movement.
  • To be MHI certified means that you not only passed a test, but that you understand the material taught inside the courses. It is something that you can have on your resume or linkedin profile. Similar to if you had a certification in Microsoft, this doesn’t mean you now speak for Microsoft. It simply means you understand it.

What are the benefits of being MHI certified?
