What is
the CHMM credential?
The
Institute of Hazardous Materials Management
(IHMM) has offered the CHMM credential since 1984. This
certification provides a nationally recognized standard for
identifying professionals who have demonstrated knowledge and
competence in hazardous materials management. The CHMM program
is accredited by the
Council of Engineering and Scientific
Specialty Boards.
The IHMM reviews applications for eligibility to sit for the
CHMM exam. Certification as either a senior or master level CHMM
is contingent upon education, experience and a passing score on
the CHMM exam. You must submit an application to the IHMM at
least 6 weeks prior to the examination date in order to sit for
the exam! You can get the application by contacting IHMM at
11900 Parklawn Drive, Rockville, MD 20852, telephone (301)
984-8969. Additional requirements and more detail about the exam
can be obtained by visiting
www.ihmm.org.
The candidate must pass a rigorous exam on
hazardous materials management including:
1) Laws & Regulations including: RCRA, TSCA, OSHA,
CWA, CAA, CERLCA, SARA, FIFRA, etc.
2) Compliance Standards & Work Practices
3) Science & Technology including: chemistry &
physics of hazardous materials, biological effects, etc.
4) Management of Hazardous Materials Programs
The Review Course can help you prepare by:
1) providing a structured study format
2) provide practice answering example questions in subject
matters outside your areas of expertise
3) giving you access to qualified instructors
The CHMM Review Course provides the environmental professional
with the knowledge to comply with health, safety, and
environmental guidelines. Course completion will prepare
participants to sit for the CHMM exam.
Even if you don't take the exam, the Review Course provides an
excellent overview for hazardous materials managers.
No. The
review course is meant to be an aid to students who are preparing to
sit for the CHMM exam.
However, our structured learning format, use of qualified
instructors, and access to simulated test taking questions helps
students identify those areas that may require additional study.
Neither the instructors, nor the exam proctor, know the actual test
questions. All test questions are developed by the Institute of
Hazardous Materials Managers (IHMM), the developer and governing
body of the CHMM credential.
No. Whether or not you take the Review Course, you can sign up
to sit for the exam through the IHMM.
Occasionally, students who take the Review Course will take the
exam at a later date. Some students will attend the Review
Course just for the good overview it provides for hazardous
materials management.
