Frequently Asked Questions

The Level 1 Certification is a series of educational courses for those interested in learning about molecular hydrogen therapy. There is a lot of misinformation surrounding molecular hydrogen. These courses aim to correct that misinformation. Furthermore, these courses also explore scientific thinking, chemistry and biology knowledge, and more to empower the students to learn how to spot misinformation for themselves. It is encouraged for all salespeople, health practitioners, and H2 enthusiasts to become MHI certified. This ensures they understand the very fundamentals of the courses themselves. To become an H₂Advisor you must complete the Level 1 Certification composed of 6 individual courses and a final comprehensive exam. These self-paced courses can be completed in approximately 6 to 12 hours depending on your experience level. There are videos and slide decks to teach the information followed by many quiz questions to test your learning.

These courses are written in the simplest way possible to provide you with only the essential chemistry and biology knowledge that is needed to understand what molecular hydrogen is and is not. Typically, general chemistry and biology courses, although relatively simple, still contain many complex concepts and ideas that may have nothing to do with what you want to learn. Until now, there hasn’t been a bridge that fills the gap between the required basic science we learn in elementary/high school and general chemistry and biology classes. These courses bridge that gap.

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. Additionally, they are written in simple-to-understand language, but provide a helpful understanding of this subject.
Our youngest certified person is only 9! These courses really are for anybody, doctors, sales agents, and even interested elementary school aged kids.

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.

The MHI Certifications maintain the integrity of the industry.
Those who are certified learn material that clarifies confusing misinformation and common misconceptions.
When a person applies the concepts of the courses they are less likely to be tricked or scammed by inaccurate claims/products. They are also less likely to be inadvertently spreading misinformation to others.
Consumers are more likely to purchase from those who are MHI-certified.

You can take each course at your own pace. There are many quizzes, videos, and slides to read through. Depending on the time you set aside, you could finish the courses in a weekend. Most students average between 8 and 12 hours to complete the entire Level 1 Certification. However, many also take their time to actively learn and take in as much information as they can and may spend up to 25 hours on it. It’s up to you and the pace you want, and your background. You do not need to know anything beforehand, but those who are well versed in some of the principles taught will likely move through it quicker.

If you purchase the bundle, you will have 6 months to complete the courses.
If you purchase an individual course, you will have 3 months access to the course.

For questions about the courses, you can always send us an email. You can also join the MHI Community for $7/month and ask specific questions there and learn from other H2 enthusiasts. You have the option to add the community at checkout.
P.S. The MHI Community also hosts monthly Q&A’s with Executive Director Tyler W. LeBaron, MSc., PhD. This is a exclusive opportunity to ask your specific questions and get them answered!

The certifications can be taken for university credit, To access courses for university credit, please email courses@molecularhydrogeninstitute.org. Otherwise, courses will be taken through MHI’s learning platform.

The certifications are well-known in the hydrogen therapy industry. Some companies selling hydrogen products require their sales agents to have this certification, or they may even receive more commission by being certified. Many consumers want to purchase products from people who are MHI-certified.

Certifications expire every 2 years to ensure that MHI-certified students are up to date on the latest information and as a way to ensure MHI can be self-sustaining in accomplishing its mission to advance the research, education, and awareness of hydrogen as a therapeutic medical gas.
Read about why MHI requires recertification here.

This is to be determined. It could be retaking the courses entirely, or it could be a test-only. However it is done, it is your responsibility to maintain your prized certification.

MHI certifications are well-known in the industry of hydrogen as a potential therapeutic medical gas.

Yes. MHI does not promote, endorse, or recommend specific products or brands, but we do encourage consumers to purchase from someone who is MHI certified as it increases the likelihood that the product/claims are in line with the evidence. This also encourages people to take our certifications, which is essential for MHI to operate.
Read here about why MHI doesn’t promote products

When you get your prized certification, celebrate! You worked hard to get it! Share it with your friends and clients, post it to your social media, print it out and frame it. You decide! If you do share it on social, be sure to tag us and we will repost it to our stories! Lastly, Congratulations on joining the MHI Family!

Science is a merciless purveyor of truth. It does not care what your feelings or cherished beliefs are. It is not swayed by the popularity of a concept or the influence of those who espouse a mistaken idea.

Indeed, Science is not only the way to the truth, but a way of thinking.
