Do Your Math Skills Add Up?
We all know how important math is for successfully completing any of the EH&S certification exams. Unfortunately not all of us are born mathematicians. If completing the math calculations for subjects like statistics, ventilation, unit conversions, or engineering economy makes you nervous or gives you nightmares, our Algebra Fundamentals for Health & Safety Professionals may be the cure for you. Reasonably priced at $295, this 8-week course begins next week (May 1st). Our certified instructor, Rick Supples, has created a comprehensive curriculum that will give you the algebra skills and the confidence you need to successfully solve math problems on whichever certification exam you aspire to take.
At the end of this course, you will be able to:
• Correctly enter algebraic expressions into an exam-approved TI-30XS calculator.
• Solve for a single unknown variable when given a linear equation from the CIH or CSP equation sheet.
• Solve for a single unknown variable in the exponent when given an exponential equation from the CIH or CSP equation sheet.
• Solve for two unknown variables when given two algebraic equations.
• Determine the mean and standard deviation of a sample data set using the TI-30XS calculator.
Class size is limited to 20 participants and we only have four spots left. Sign up now to secure your place in the class.

Changes Are Coming to the CHMM Exam!
The Institute of Hazardous Materials Managers (IHMM) has issued a new "blueprint" for the Certified Hazardous Materials Manager (CHMM) certification exam, effective July 1, 2013. All examinees who sit for the CHMM exam on or after that date will take a test that conforms to the new blueprint, regardless of when they applied for admission to the exam. The new blueprint will change the scope, subject inclusions, and the numbers of questions from each "duty area", as compared to the existing blueprint. An additional change that becomes effective on July 1, 2013 is an increase in the professional experience requirement from 3 years to 4 years.
Our popular CHMM Online Review Course, which runs April 2 – May 16, reviews the subjects covered by the existing blueprint as well as elements of the new blueprint in a series of live, interactive online sessions led by Ernie Stracener, CIH, CSP, CHMM. The class roster is quickly filling up, but there are still seats available for those who are ready to tackle the CHMM challenge! Nearly all of our clients that report having taken the exam after participating in our review course earned the CHMM credential on their first try at the exam.
The IHMM recommends that applicants apply at least six weeks prior to their intended test date, but earlier is always better. Once an applicant has been approved to sit for the exam, he or she has 18 months to sit for their exam. Upon receipt of IHMM's acceptance of an application, approved applicants should schedule their exam with their testing center as soon as possible to ensure that their desired testing date will be available at their local testing center.

New ASP and CSP Online Review Courses
We have listened to you and are now offering separate ASP and CSP online review courses along with our combined ASP/CSP online review. We understand that some of our clients may not be eligible to take both the Safety Fundamentals and Comprehensive Practice exams back to back and want to accommodate those that may be studying for one or the other.
To help you determine which course is right for you, we have put together a short list of statements that may apply to your situation. We want to make sure that we are providing our clients exactly what they need to succeed.
Our first ASP Online Review begins April 9th and our first CSP Online Review begins July 30th. Make sure to sign up at least two weeks in advance to receive the early registration discount.
