What is the Certified Professional Environmental, Safety, and Health™ Credential (CPESH™)?

The Certified Professional Environment, Health, and Safety™ (CPESH™) credential is for environment, health, and safety generalist practitioners who know the technology and scientific principles used to evaluate, protect, manage, and enhance the health and safety of people and the environment.  CPESHs have a multi-disciplinary understanding of:

  • occupational and environmental health and safety hazards and risks,
  • environmental aspects and impacts,
  • sustainability,
  • concepts relating to regulatory and voluntary standards and
  • risk mitigation.

CPESH must have obtained at least a Bachelor of Science in the science, technology, engineering, or mathematics (STEM) field and have at least 5 years’ experience.  Consideration may be given to substitute 6 months of experience if the degree is from an applicable ABET or EHAC-accredited degree program.

 

Benefits of the CPESH Certification

The benefits of holding the CPESH Certification include the following:

  • Professional recognition: The CPESH certification demonstrates that an individual has the knowledge and expertise in environment, health, and safety practices, making them stand out among their peers and potentially leading to increased job opportunities and career advancement.
  • Enhanced credibility: Employers and clients value certifications as they assure that the individual possesses the skills and knowledge to address environmental, health, and safety challenges effectively. The CPESH certification can enhance one’s credibility and trustworthiness in the field.
  • Expanded Job Prospects: The CPESH certification can open a wide range of job opportunities in various industries, including manufacturing, construction, healthcare, energy, and consulting. Many organizations actively seek certified professionals to improve their environment, health, and safety performance.
  • Competitive edge: In a competitive job market, having the CPESH certification can give individuals a competitive edge over others who do not possess this credential. It demonstrates their commitment to professional development and dedication to continually improving their skills.
  • Continued Professional Growth: Maintaining the CPESH certification requires individuals to stay current with the latest developments, regulations, and best practices in the fields of environment, health, and safety. This commitment to ongoing learning fosters continuous professional growth and ensures that professionals remain competent.
  • Visibility and Access to Jobs: CPESHs have access to a web-enabled designation that can be shared to increase their social media presence and to connect their skills to active job postings.

CPESH Application Overview of Steps

To qualify for admission to the BGC examinations as an applicant, you must comply with all Board requisites. Documents and forms sent by you and third parties will be needed to assess your eligibility to sit for the exam(s). BGC will evaluate all applicants using the criteria established for the certification eligibility and will not discriminate based on race, creed, national origin, religion, age, disability, political affiliation, sex, sexual orientation, marital, parental, military, or any other legally protected status. We may ask you for additional documentation when an initial review of your application (or reapplication) indicates that pertinent information is missing or unclear. In that case, a review of your application or reapplication will proceed once we receive the requested information.

Application Steps

The application process for becoming certified as a CPESH has three steps. Please familiarize yourself thoroughly with the requirements before you begin your application. Please also note that you must meet all current eligibility requirements.

Step 1: Educate yourself about the process and requirements.  Be sure to view all the information in the EHSA Candidate Handbook.

Step 2:  Go and pay the application fee.

Step 3: Submission of General Application Documents:

 

Where to Send Transcripts:

    The BGC Board treats the original appointment of Directors and staff as confidential information. As noted in the BGC Privacy Policy, all reasonable precautions are taken to prevent unauthorized access to individual information. BGC does not disclose personal information obtained from you or any other applicant to third parties except when authorized in writing by you or, if necessary, to complete the process – for example, arranging for you to sit for the exam.

      BGC Director Assessment of Your Eligibility: A Director of the Board is not authorized to give you a determination on your eligibility, either before or after your application is filed.  

    CPESH Reapplicants

    An application is active for two years. After the second year, your application expires. You must update the description of your current practice and pay a reapplication fee to reactivate an expired application to sit for the exam. To reactivate an expired application and sit for the exam, you must complete the following steps:

    • Submit a Reapplication Application
    • Meet all current application requirements
    • Pay the $160 reapplication fee (non-refundable)
      Don’t Lose your Application! If your application file is inactive for more than three years without your being approved to sit for the exam, it will be automatically purged, and you will have to follow the procedure as a new applicant if you wish to apply again. Please notify us in writing before three years of inactivity to keep your file open and contact information up to date.  

    Requirements to Be Eligible for the CPESH

    Academic Requirements

    Professional-Level Experience

    To be recognized as “professional-level” work acceptable to the Board, your experience must meet the following four criteria:

    • Independence of actions. This relates to the amount of planning, self-direction, decision-making, and autonomy involved in your work experience.
    • Depth of work. This relates to the extent to which your work experience requires data-gathering, analysis, and interpretation.
    • Level of interaction. This relates to the degree to which you interact with a broad spectrum of contacts, including decision-makers.
    • Responsibility for work outcome. This relates to accuracy and the extent to which you are held accountable for your work and decisions.

     

    Experience Equivalency

    A maximum of 6 months of experience equivalency may be credited for certain EHS-related degrees if the degree program is accredited by the National Environmental Health Science & Protection Accreditation Council (EHAC) or ABET.

    Ethics Requirement

    Regardless of any other professional affiliation, the BGC Code of Ethics applies to each individual seeking certification (candidates) and each individual certified by BGC credentialing programs or holding a BGC designation (certificants). The Code serves as the minimum ethical standards for your professional behavior and is designed to provide both appropriate ethical practice guidelines and enforceable standards of conduct. The Code also serves as a professional resource for EHS professionals, as well as for those served by BGC candidates and certificants. Consequently, you are required to adhere to the BGC Code of Ethics and to be governed by the BGC Ethics Case Procedures.

    Required Documentation for CPESH Applicants

    U.S. and Canadian Degrees

     

    Where to Send Transcripts:

    email: applications@gobgc.org

     

    CPESH Candidate Handbook

    International Degrees

    A degree from a college or university that is located outside the United States or Canada will be considered for acceptability based on the institution’s accreditation status in the education system that has jurisdiction. Applicants with international degrees will be required to submit their transcript(s) for a credential evaluation unless the academic program is authorized by BGC or through a BGC-recognized accreditation agency to issue BGC verification statements. (BGC verification statements streamline and shorten the review for applicants.  Please contact your program director to find out if verification statements are available to you.)

    A member of the National Association of Credential Evaluation Services, Inc. or a member of the Association of International Credential Evaluators must be used to prepare a credential evaluation report. You must request that the report be forwarded to BGC. Below is a list of different services that our applicants have used for transcript evaluations. BGC does not specifically endorse or recommend one service over another.

     

    CPESH Application and Exam Fees

    Examinations are generally held at testing centers. If you fail an exam, you must wait 120 days before you will be allowed to retake it.

    CPESH Application Fees

    The application, examination, and credential maintenance processes require you to pay fees on or before the due dates. The fees are listed in the table below.
    The application fee must be paid prior to the review of application materials.
    Fees may be subject to change, so please check the BGC website to obtain the most current fee schedule.

     

    Application or reapplication fees are neither refundable nor transferrable. Your examination fee is not refundable either, but if you cancel your examination with the testing center at least 48 hours in advance of the exam time, the fee will be carried over to when you schedule your re-examination as long as the additional test date is within the 2 year application when. If your cancellation is made less than 48 hours in advance, your fee is forfeited.

    Overview of the CPESH Exam

    Don’t miss the unique opportunity to be a part of the inaugural group of test takers for the new CAESH™ and CPESH™ credentials.

    The BGC is providing several benefits to the inaugural group of testers. You will receive a significantly discounted examination fee. Additionally, if you do not pass the exam once the cut score has been set, you will be offered one FREE retake of the examination.

    ~These specials only apply to the beta testing group for the CAESH™ and CPESH™ exams.~

    The first group of testing will take place from September 1 through December 31, 2025. The testing data from this group of test takers will help set the cut score for the examination.  Scores for this group of testers will be available once the inaugural group has concluded testing, and psychometric analysis of the data can be conducted (4-6 weeks after the testing has concluded).

    To be a part of this special group of testers, you may submit your application beginning July 1, 2025.

    To establish the topics covered by CPESH Exams, BGC conducted a Job Task Analysis (JTA) study, also known as the Role Delineation Study (RDS) for each exam. The results of the JTA were described in documentation and reports consistent with ISO/ANSI/NCCA, and CESB accreditation standards.  JTA Panel members identified the domains, tasks, knowledge, and skills essential to performing the work of an environmental practitioner.  The JTA results were then distilled into the 4 Broad topics and 16 sub-topics covered that comprise the and in the CPESH exam Blueprint. In order to ensure that credentialed practitioners protect the public through their work, it is BGC’s goal to conduct a JTA at least every five to seven years so that domains, tasks, knowledge, skills, examination, recertification, and ethical requirements reflect current, real-world practice.

    Once each Blueprint was completed and approved by the BGC Board, a panel of  Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) with expertise on the Blueprint topics was convened to draft and review multiple choice exam questions.  These SMEs represented a variety of practice settings, geographic regions, educational levels, gender, ethnicity, and years of experience. This effort was led by former BGC board members with exam expertise who worked under BGC Staff direction.  These former Board members also coordinated with the appointed BGC Board liaison to ensure the BGC Board was kept informed as the exam updates were being done.

    Examination Purpose and Format

    Passing the CPESH exam is required to obtain the CPESH. The exam has 125 (100 questions plus 25 pilot questions) multiple-choice questions, which you may go back and review at any time during the exam.  The exam has some unscored questions that are being tested for possible use in future exam updates.  Wrong answers on unscored questions will not count against the examinee.  Exam takers will not know which questions are being scored.

    Obligations of Credential Holders

    After you pass the exam and are issued your credential, you are required to meet several obligations, not limited  to: 

    • Paying all fees on or before the due date
    • Continually updating your knowledge and skills
    • documenting knowledge and skills through the Certification Maintenance Process
    • Upholding the BGC Code of Ethics 

    Please be aware that if the requirements for certification and recertification change, you will be required to meet them in order to hold your certification.

    Preparing for the CPESH Exam

     

    The BGC Board encourages you to consider your knowledge and experience and to assess your recognized strengths and weaknesses. Self-study, specific training, and group discussions are recognized methods of improving perceived weaknesses. However, the Board does not endorse or support specific training courses, study guides, or other activities that are intended or purported to be prepared for its examinations.

Pearson will provide reasonable accommodations for candidates with disabilities. Candidates requesting special accommodations must call Pearson at 833-256-1420 to schedule their examination.

    1. Wheelchair access is available at all established Test Centers. Candidates must advise Pearson when scheduling that wheelchair access is necessary.

    You may confirm your appointment in two ways.

    You can confirm your appointment online even if you scheduled your appointment by telephone.

    Examination Scoring

    You must receive a passing score on the CPESH exam in order to receive the CPESH Certification.

    • All questions have the same point value.
    • There is no penalty for incorrect answers (such as “number correct minus a percentage of the number of incorrect answers”).
    • A “passing” score is not required in each of the individual subareas.

    Examinees may request a review of their exam score by submitting the Review of the Exam Score Form, which will be forwarded to our testing vendor to conduct a score verification. The examinee should consider that, given the quality control procedures that are in place, it is highly unlikely that the score will change.

    Notification of Examination Results

    Once the exam has been completed on-line, a preliminary score is sent to the computer where the exam was taken. This preliminary score is not final or official. Examinees will receive their official results in writing approximately four to six weeks after the examination. If you fail the exam, we will inform you of your overall score. All examinees will also receive a performance report indicating their scores in each of the 4 major topical areas.

    Confidentiality

    As noted in the BGC Privacy Policy, examination reports, scores, and failures are not released outside of BGC without your authorization. Studies and reports concerning candidates will contain no information identifiable with any candidate unless authorized by the candidate. The names of those who pass the examination will be listed on the BGC website and entered in the appropriate BGC rosters which are posted on the BGC website.

    Re-Examination

    If you are not successful in your examination attempt, you must wait 120 days after you take the exam before you may retake the examination.
