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.

I wanted to let Will Pate know that I sat for the CHMM exam and I passed! I took his online CHMM review course in the Spring of 2016. This was an excellent class! Even after waiting almost a year after completing the review course I went back and listened to each lecture over again, took lots of note cards from this lectures, used the Bowen CHMM app on my iPhone, read the IHMM book, and studied DataChem CHMM Prep extensively. I would highly recommend this review course for anyone planning to sit for the CHMM. Thanks Will for a GREAT class.

I am happy to say I passed my exam! This is my second time taking it so the pressure was on. I want to thank Bowen EHS for all their help and support. I started a new job a week before my first try at the exam and with the stress of house selling and house hunting, my exam results showed. I retook the CHMM online review, studied using the CHMM Datachem software and reviewed my problem areas from the first exam. I am excited to put this chapter behind me. Thank you and best of luck to anyone else planning to take the exam!

Please tell Mr. Pate that I passed the CHMM exam. I was in his last CHMM class and listened to the recordings since I couldn't make the scheduled live classroom hours. Without his class I would not have done well....tell him thanks for me.

I just completed the 2016-08 CHMM review course with Will Pate and took the exam one week later. I was nervous to push the submit exam button, but the message came up that I passed! Big thanks to Will for teaching a great review course. Many topics from the review course helped with my success on this exam. I would recommend for others to begin making your own flash cards right away when you are taking the review course. Review that content frequently. There are a lot of things to have memorized for this exam. Big thanks to Will and Bowen EHS! :)
