KHA requirements for becoming a Certified Koi Keeper*

Note: A grandfather program is available until December 31, 2010.

If you received your KHA certification in the years between 2002 and 2009 (inclusively), you are eligible to be grandfathered into the K.O.I. program as a Certified Koi Keeper. To take advantage of this offer, eligible KHAs will be required to agree to the K.O.I. Continuing Education (CE) Policy and pay a one-time fee of $15 to cover the cost of enrollment and initial perks, e.g., pin, certificate, mailing etc.

All KHAs seeking Certified Koi Keeper status after December 31, 2010, will be required to complete the following courses:

207 – Koi Diagnosis and Treatment

208 – Quarantine, Bio-Security and Record Keeping

220 – LAB

The fees for K.O.I. courses 207, 208 and 220 are $80, $25 and $50, respectively. The LAB will require on-line attendance at specific dates and times. All three courses may be purchased together for $100 (a $55 savings over individual course prices).

After having fulfilled the specified requirements, Certified Koi Keepers will receive:

One Certified Koi Keeper pin sent by mail

A Certified Koi Keeper certificate sent by mail

A $30 credit toward the purchase of K.O.I. courses and/or ebooks

A template for printable Certified Koi Keeper business cards – sent by email

A 50% discount on K.O.I. ebooks

A 25% discount on additional individual K.O.I. courses – this discount does not apply to course bundles already discounted.

To gain and maintain their certification, Certified Koi Keepers must agree to the K.O.I. Continuing Education (CE) Policy which requires earning 15 CE Units every 2 years. More information about CE can be found in the K.O.I. Continuing Education Policy.

* Note: Membership in K.O.I. is not required.
