DISCLAIMER:
An individual’s status with BCSP is an indicator that an individual has completed a combination of defined
education, experience, and examination requirements. However, certification is not a guarantee or assurance
of the competence or ability of any particular individual. Further, given the rapid changes in the field, BCSP
cannot warrant that any examination and other certification materials will at all times reflect the most current
state of the art.

BCSP disclaims liability for any personal injury, property or other damages of any nature whatsoever, whether

4.) Schedule Your Exam
Once BCSP has processed your examination fee, you will
then be able to schedule your examination with Pearson VUE.
Pearson Vue is the official computer-based testing proctor for
all BCSP examinations. More information about scheduling
your examination can be found in Chapter 5, “Examination
Overview”.

5.) Sit For Your Exam

Candidates eligible for the ASP examination must pass the
examination within their one-year of eligibility.

BCSP allows candidates to extend their eligibility time limit

once during their term and the extension is valid for one year.
Extensions are available for purchase within the last 60 days of
a candidate’s eligibility period and the candidate cannot have
an outstanding exam authorization.

Those who do not meet this time limit nor purchase the
eligibility extension must reapply as a new candidate and meet
the current application requirements. A detailed outline of
eligibility is provided once an application has been approved.

BCSP’s examination provider, Pearson VUE ([Link]/

BCSP), has test centers located around the world and operates
every business day. Examinations are delivered via computer
at the test center. Candidates will be given their examination
results at the center immediately after submitting their
exam. Candidates that fail may purchase a new examination
authorization as long as they remain eligible.

For a list of current fees, visit [Link]/Certifications/Safety-

Certifications-at-a-Glance.

6.) Maintain Certification

Annual Renewal Fees:

After completing all of the requirements, BCSP awards

candidates who pass the ASP exam the ASP credential.
Certificants will need to pay annual renewal fees in order to
maintain certification. A prorated renewal fee will be applied
for the remainder of the year in which the candidate passes
the exam.

Recertification:

ASPs must remain up-to-date with changes in professional

practice by earning 25 Recertification points every five years.

Additional information regarding Recertification can be

found in the Recertification Guide, located at [Link]/
Certifications/Recertification.

Developing a Test-Taking Strategy

Knowing how to take the examination will help improve your
score. The examination uses multiple-choice items with only
one correct answer and three incorrect answers. Remember,
the goal is to get as many items correct as possible. There is
no penalty for selecting an incorrect answer. However, only
correct answers count toward reaching the passing score.

Other Review and Study Sources

A number of professional membership organizations,
trade organizations, colleges, and universities, and private
companies offer study courses, software, and materials to
assist candidates when preparing for BCSP examinations.
Because candidates for BCSP examinations often ask where to
locate review courses and materials, BCSP maintains an online
list strictly as a courtesy at [Link]/Resources/Review-and-
Study-Sources.

Beyond the written materials BCSP publishes, BCSP has no

involvement in the development, content, or distribution of
any courses or materials associated with preparing for BCSP
examinations or evaluating readiness. BCSP neither endorses
the providers shown on the online list nor evaluates the
providers or the providers’ materials for consistency with
BCSP examination blueprints or with any aspect of any BCSP
examination.

Candidates must contact the sources directly about materials,

course schedules, fees, or matters related to satisfaction with
their products or services.

Examination Integrity
A key to a successful and respected credentialing program is
examination security. Without it, a peer-operated credentialing
program has little value. BCSP relies on the ethical behavior of
candidates and certificants to maintain the security of BCSP
examinations.

When those who hold credentials or those who are pursuing

credentials reveal information about the content of BCSP
examinations, they violate the agreement all candidates
accept when they apply for certification and when they
take an examination. Applicants, examination candidates, or
certificants who reveal confidential information about the
content of BCSP examinations through any means also violate
the BCSP Disciplinary Action Policy and the BCSP Code of
Ethics located at [Link]/About.
