While reading through the credits, etc of The New Rules of Lifting, I noticed that Alwyn is credited with being CHEK certified. Isn't that a misrepresentation? CHEK certified means having completed the entire span of CHEK certifications (which are more extensive and have both written and practical evaluations) as well as having written a thesis. I don't believe Alwyn has even completed one certification, let alone aall of them plus a thesis.

Completing a correspondence course or two does not a certification make.

I'm just surprised that such a gross misrepresentation would be made in a published book, and that Alwyn, whose information presentation is otherwise great, would feel the need to publicly attribute to himself credits he doesn't have.
