The Certified Industrial Hygienist® Fall Exam Period Underway

Earlier this month, the Certified Industrial Hygienist^® fall exam window began and continues through November 30^th. Applicants who completed applications by the August 1^st deadline and were notified by staff at the American Board of Industrial Hygiene^® (ABIH^®) that they are approved candidates for the fall exam need to schedule their exam at least nine (9) calendar days prior to the end of the testing window to be able to sit for the exam.
 
ABIH^® has contracted with Prometric to provide exam locations throughout the United States, Canada, and in many other countries across the globe. Candidates for the exam will need their identification number listed in the Authorization to Test Letter that they received to obtain their examination appointment.
 
Prometric offers two ways to schedule the examination:

• Online at www.prometric.com/abih
• By phone at (800) 800-1123, international candidates should check the Prometric website for country specific telephone numbers at www.prometric.com/en-us/clients/pages/contact-numbers.aspx?client=ABIH

 
For those who missed the August 1^st cutoff point to become eligible for the Fall Exam window, the 2019 spring exam deadline to submit completed applications is February 1^st. All of the requirements and the process for those interested in pursuing CIH^® certification have been clearly defined in the Candidate Handbook.
