Syllabus
Our philosophy on exam preparation is to be sure clients understand the fundamental issues in each subject. The exam is tough. Clients prepared to answer the fundamental questions can devote more time to the advanced questions on each subject. Client experience provides the knowledge to answer more advanced questions.
Course Expectations:
- Lectures are held two (2) times per week for 8 weeks and last 2 hours each. Live, interactive lectures are presented and are also recorded for individuals that miss a lecture. In addition to weekly presentations, the instructor will design different types of activities for participants to participate in every week. The activities may include, but are not limited to: practice activities, multiple-choice quizzes, or small group activities. These activities are designed to engage participants and to assist in the retention of presented information.
- A homework password will be given at the end of each lecture. Homework will be completed outside of class and reviewed at the beginning of the next lecture.
- Recordings of all class lectures and access to all course activities are available for up to one full year from the course start date through the Bowen EHS® Member Center. Mac and PC users have the option to download the recordings to keep and use after the course has closed.

Passed the CSP, 6 weeks after the ASP. My prep this time focused on going through all of the Bowen homework assignments and exams again, supplemented with the CSP9 self assessment booklet (100 questions, very useful) and reading some chapters of Brauer on my weak points. There were not a lot of heavy calculations...I hadn’t memorized all of the elaborate formulas (engineering economy, ventilation, radiation etc.) When you need a unit conversion they either provide it or it’s an easy one. A lot of questions went like, “So you are a CSP and encounter this scenario regarding an injury/a training need/a wave of illnesses/a mass casualty incident at your facility, what do you do?” or “What is the BEST approach to this problem?” which you can figure out by elimination. It is all doable if you are generally comfortable with the Bowen course material, and for me practicing with similarly-styled questions did help. Best of luck all!

I passed the CSP! I took the Bowen ASP/CSP Class in the winter/spring, took the ASP in the beginning of May and the CSP exam 6 weeks later; was able to pass both on the first attempt. I was committed to studying at least 3 days during the week and at least 8 hours over each weekend. It may have been excessive but I only wanted to take each test once. I must have gone through at least 1500 quiz questions per exam. For the ASP I studied the Bowen quiz questions/exams and I also used the David Yates "Safety Professionals Reference Guide" as another source which proved to be helpful especially in toxicology and environmental aspects of safety. For the CSP I ordered the SPAN quiz questions which added another dimension to studying. I suggest ordering the BCSP Assessment exams and take them as soon as you get them as they will highlight areas to focus on. Good Luck.

Passed the CSP using the same brute force quiz question method I used for the ASP. I thought the CSP was the more difficult test, largely due to the question formatting. Read them very carefully to ensure you are solid on what the question is actually asking. Many here recommend taking the CSP soon after the ASP and I would echo that opinion. I had a 6-week gap. I was still in the mood to study but was hitting the turnout point prior to my exam. Good luck to all who are taking it soon!

I passed the ASP on my first try!!! The exam was extremely difficult despite completing the online review course, HOURS of independent studying and countless practice quizzes/tests. Much heavier on Environmental and Hazardous Materials than I expected. Be sure to know Electricity concepts and calculations inside and out. Lots of questions needed unit conversions. All in all very hard, but I made it!!!
