We completed our survey process for the **July 2026 CIH Online Review** course. 100 days after the course end date, we identified participants who completed the course and asked them to complete a short survey.

To receive a Certificate of Completion, clients are required to complete the following list of items:

- Listen to each of the 16 lectures (participate live or review recorded lectures).
- Score 70% or higher on all homework assignments.
- Score 70% or higher on the Bowen EHS final exam.
- Complete the course evaluation.
 
Now for the results! The January 2026 CIH Online Review took place from January 12, 2026, through March 4, 2026.

Of those who **completed** the course:

- **78%** responded to our survey!
- **81%** of those responding took the CIH exam.
- **56%** passed the CIH Exam**.**
 
If you are wondering about the time commitment required to prepare for the CIH Exam, we asked these course participants the same question.

They spent an average of 240 hours studying and a little over 5 1/2 months preparing. Candidates also recommend that once you receive your exam date from the BGC, you confirm the specific testing parameters with the testing center and BGC, including policies on whiteboards, calculators, and allowable breaks. Bringing a printed copy of the BGC’s confirmation email on exam day may also be helpful.

Congratulations to these new CIHs!! Way to go!!

As always, we are **Committed To Your Success** and [Guarantee our Support](/terms/our-guarantee.html) through the exam process!

## What Our Participants Say

 > After a successful result on the exam, I wanted to share my general experiences and tips! First, thanks, Rustin, for great lectures! I felt like the Bowen CIH course was great preparation for the exam. The recommendations from Bowen for other study materials were also helpful. I concur with others' advice to do lots of practice questions/tests and do them against a clock. I found that going into the test with a pre-planned strategy that I had already practiced (flagging, leaving blank, combo of both, etc.) was really helpful. Good luck! .

 > Thank you for all your help and for the course. Taking it for the first time, I didn't know what to expect. I think the course helped prepare me and I can’t say enough how much the mini exams and quizzes helped me.

 > I’m pleased to share that I passed the CIH exam on my first attempt. Thank you — your lectures were extremely helpful and played a significant role in my preparation. I also greatly appreciate the Bowen course material and practice quizzes, which were invaluable throughout the process. I truly could not have achieved this without the support and quality of both resources.
