Client Feedback: CIH Exam Courses

We love getting honest feedback from our clients. In addition to letting us know how we are doing, they let us know what worked or didn't work for them while preparing for their CIH exam.

Read on to find out more.

We are serious about maintaining the integrity of the CIH exam and the certification process. Please help us by not posting any specific exam questions or exam content in your comments. If you do, we will have to modify or remove your feedback. Thank you for respecting this.

I just couldn't wait to take this test (CIH), so I booked it for the first day of the fall window and received a preliminary pass notification on the first attempt. I owe a significant debt to Russ Bowen for his course instruction and the wonderful resources this site offers. The course presented key topics and advised on great resources for more information, and the quizzes provided an easy means for measuring competency in each area. Thank you!

I passed the CSP! My journey took longer than I expected because I had to wait for my results from the ASP beta and then COVID! But I re-listened to all the lectures from last fall's ASP/CSP prep course and went in confident. Thanks for all the guidance!

Passed my CSP yesterday after passing the ASP in July, both on the first try! Woohoo! The ASP-CSP class (with Patrick, the May-June class) helped a ton with getting me on the right path and really breaking down an overwhelming blueprint. Before it I just didn’t know where to start when it came to assessing my knowledge and where I needed to improve. I did a practice exam almost daily using the CSP question bank. It was challenging but I feel that the practice tests really helped me understand how things would be asked on the test. Thank you Patrick and Bowen!!

Thank you to Mike, Will, and Rick for your well-structured course. I couldn't have passed this without your guidance and support. Now if only the darned BCSP website would update with my ASP certification so I can finish signing up for the CSP! Oh well. Seeing that "PASS" on my exam score report will suffice (for now).

Bowen was very important in helping me gain my ASP in July of 2016 and my CSP in April of this year.

Passed the ASP last week, CSP today. I took the course with Patrick which was a huge help for the ASP. I completed many study exams from the vault, studied what I missed and also read up on what exactly the incorrect options really were. I read Brauer, made flashcards, re-watched the classes, and reviewed/studied like mad since the end of the class in July. Although a common theme was to skip the math, I worked really hard at the math and I think that helped me a lot with the ASP. I did flag the math and went back to it but had plenty of time and most came fairly easy from the practice. I jumped right back in for the CSP exam a week later and although I passed, it really was tough. Finished with 8 minutes to spare. Flagged the math, which there were not as many questions, but much more complicated, multiple-step problems. The topics go so much deeper than the ASP and more so than I expected. It really takes knowing and understanding the material. Lots of system and management questions. Just so glad it's over! Patrick, thanks so much for the job you did with the summer class, not sure what I would have done without it!

I received a different screen today than in the past "Preliminary Pass"!!! When I took the exam in the spring statistically I was within a couple of questions so that stung pretty good. I had attempted the exam on two previous attempts but hadn't really made good progress until attending the CIH review Russ and his team put together last spring. The value of studying for the CIH exam is honing on our craft; whether I passed the CIH or not, each time I attempted it the preparation provided a deeper and wider understanding that I was able to use in the profession.

I took the CHMM test yesterday and it stated that I passed. It could take up to three weeks to get the actual grade. I want to thank Bowen and all of my class members for their help.

I took the CIH exam and got preliminary pass!!! Thanks to the Bowen EHS team especially Russ & Rick, I listened to Russ lectures multiple times to learn and clear many difficult concepts. I prepared my flashcards especially Toxicology and spent some time with IH reference & study guide, Very good book nicely written in short to cover all rubrics of IH. I also spent a lot of time to practice calculations especially ventilation, noise, general science equations etc. If you want to make your score higher just practice more and more calculations problems. This will definitely help to pass the exam. Lastly, Bowen practice questions were really good preparation for the exam
Good luck to all those taking the exam.

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.

Thank you, Russ. You, Will, and Mike and the whole Bowen EHS team were a tremendous help and are THE source for certification study and education. I look forward to staying with Bowen EHS maybe pursuing CHMM after the CSP.

Passed the ASP, course was excellent prep! I sat for the exam and felt well prepared thanks to Bowen EHS. As additional study prior to the exam I went through the course packet/slide handouts again, reworked the homework and exam problems, and reviewed some outside materials in areas I felt lacking in (hazmats, system safety). A couple of subject areas seemed to have quite a few questions--training, management systems, electrical, ergonomics, fleet safety, all covered by the course. Good luck all!
