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, participants will be expected to complete multiple-choice quizzes. Other practice activities may be assigned or suggested by the instructor. 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.

After two months of my exam being delayed, I was finally able to take and pass the CHMM exam. Having more of a safety background and not environmental, I found the exam to be challenging more so then the CSP. Thank you Will for doing a great job teaching the course! I would have not passed without it and would recommend the Bowen CHMM course to anyone who is considering getting their CHMM.

I just received the congratulatory confirmation email from the IHMM stating I passed. Good to have this in the rearview mirror now. Such a relief. The Bowen CHMM course was ideal. The breadth of chapters/subjects really prepared me for the exam. I listened to the lectures/classes repeatedly after the course ended and drilled the information into my head: at work next to my computer in the car, and at home. I highly recommend the CHMM review course to everyone.

I passed. It's been a very long time since I stepped on a college campus to take an exam. Today, I had my test and after multiple attempts of practice tests...making certain to read the full question and all the answers. The test was light on statistics and chemical equations but definitely tilted at treatment and handling specifics. I'm so grateful to have this over with and that I could not have done it without Bowen. Thanks!
