Tools to Prepare for the Certified Industrial Hygienist Spring Exam

LANSING, Mich. - Feb. 3, 2014 - PRLog -- The Certified Industrial Hygienist program is rigorous and achieved by only the best industrial hygienists.  February 1^st was the deadline for Applicants to submit their completed applications to be eligible for the spring exam which is offered during April and May.  The intended purpose of the exam is to help ensure that professionals working in this field have the skills and knowledge that have been identified as being important in the practice of industrial hygiene.

The CIH exam is challenging for many and the preparation can be time consuming, but the rewards are also great.  Professionals who have earned the CIH have proven that they have met all the requirements for education and experience, and through examination, have demonstrated knowledge and skills in the broad scope of industrial hygiene practice.

Historically, during most exam periods, less than half the Examinees pass the exam.  To help Examinees prepare for the exam, ABIH has made a number of important resources available on their website.  They include the following:
