Deadline Approaches to Submit Completed Applications for the 2018 CIH® Fall Exam

With less than one week left before the August 1^st deadline for individuals to submit their completed applications to sit for the Certified Industrial Hygienist^® (CIH^®) Fall exam, the staff at the American Board of Industrial Hygiene^® (ABIH^®) encourage those interested in pursuing CIH^® certification to submit their paperwork. 
 
The following information must be received by the August 1^st deadline to be considered for eligibility to sit for the exam:

• Application forms, detailed description of work experience, and fees.
• Official college or university degree transcripts (international degrees may require extra steps), sent directly from the institution to ABIH^®.
• Documentation of two hours of ethics training.
• Academic and Continuing Education Coursework sheet documenting IH-related courses, and continuing education documentation (certificates, education or employee transcripts, including training duration).
• Professional Reference Questionnaires sent by references directly to ABIH^®.

 
ABIH^® is working diligently to process and review all applications for those planning to take the fall exam. Once this occurs, applicants will be notified if they are approved to sit for the exam, which runs from October 1^st through November 30^th. Candidates are then encouraged to pay the exam fees and schedule their exam appointment through Prometric Testing Centers.  Prometric has testing facilities that are available worldwide, but exam slots can fill up quickly.
 
For those who cannot make the upcoming August deadline, the last day to submit completed applications for the Spring 2019 exam is February 1, 2019.
