The lectures are conducted live and are available as recordings for streaming and download the day after the live lecture is conducted. In addition to weekly presentations, activities are available for participants each week. The activities may include but are not limited to practice activities, multiple-choice quizzes, and 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 live 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.

I am so excited to share that I passed the ASP today on my first try! I finished the ASP-CSP Prep Course in December 2018. I was super nervous but found that the course had me completely ready. As I needed help with math and calculations, I did lots of practice in those areas. I used the Bowen EHS online quizzes and practice tests to prepare along with my notes from the course. I was pleasantly surprised to find that there was not as much math as I expected. There were a couple of tricky ones (ideal gas law is my eternal struggle) but nothing I freaked out about. I followed Russ's strategy for test taking and had plenty of time. I even finished about 20 minutes early because I was afraid that I would overthink some of the questions that I probably answered correctly the first time through. :) Thank you, Russ, for such a great course! Now on to the CSP!

Passed CSP exam and very thankful to my employer paying for ASP/CSP Bowen online review course and to Bowen EHS for providing free weekly ASP/CSP practice questions. As previously mentioned, there was less math, but, a lot of Safety Management scenarios, BCSP Ethics questions, and a few occupational health questions. Good luck to all taking exams. It's a lot of studying/preparation, but, it's worth it.

Just took my CSP and I passed! Thank you to Bowen, the course was definitely helpful in preparing me for the test. I found on my test, there was significantly less math than I expected, and more safety management and system safety-based questions. Also be sure to know and understand the BCSP Code of Ethics. Good luck to everyone else who still has to take the exam!

I passed the CSP yesterday after finishing the Bowen CSP Prep course on Thursday. I do not recommend scheduling the exam without at least a 2-week gap after the end of the prep course. I felt that I needed more time to prepare. The Bowen EHS course helped a lot. I would not have gotten questions on liability, safety management systems, the role of front-line supervision on safety, and ventilation correct without the prep course. I did not read any of the recommended texts, but I did complete the BCSP Self Assessment, which included several questions that were on the exam. If I was going to study again, I'd focus on risk assessment tools (FMEA, Fault Tree Analysis, Life Cycle Analysis, etc.), IH, reliability, statistics/probability, and management systems. Thanks to Bowen and especially William Pate, a great instructor for the CSP Prep Course!
