CSRP Exam Prep Course

The CRSP Exam Prep Course (CSSE) is a two-day professional development course offered on different dates by the Canadian Society of Safety Engineering in major cities across Canada. It supports health and safety professionals in preparation for the CRSP Exam leading to the Canadian Registered Safety Professional (CRSP) designation awared by the Board of Canadian Registered Safety Professionals.

The BCRSP is an independent body and the CRSP designation is awarded to professionals who have met academic, experience and professional examination requirements. The designation is increasingly required for occupational health and safety positions. The designation recognizes, under charter from the federal government, those persons who have achieved a professional level of competence in accident prevention.

Description

The CRSP Exam Prep Course (CSSE) assists participants in identifying strengths and weakness in their knowledge and skills related to the 11 competency domains covered by the CRSP Exam material and by doing so clearly establishes the direction that Exam preparation and study must take.

Focusing on the texts, study guides and examination competencies identified by the BCRSP, this course gives the participant the tools and instruction to successfully complete the study and examination process.

The course manual is organized as a tool, to allow the participant increased ease in accessibility and readability, so you can concentrate on studying the material, not trying to find it.
