[MCIC Safety] EHS School Question for CSPs

[[MCIC] Jim Kuszaj]

Continuing Education Credits For Certified Safety Professionals (CSPs)

Here are two questions for anyone on the Steering Committee for the 
2008 EHS School or on MCIC's Safety Committee who is certified by BCSP.

The process of getting "Continuance of Certification" (COC) credits 
from the Board of Certified Safety Professionals (BCSP) for the 2008 
EHS School is self-certifying. That is, BCSP does not pre-approve any 
course. Instead it allows the sponsor to determine whether the course 
covers material in what BCSP call its Examination Blueprint.

I have looked at the Blueprint and think that all the courses we are 
planning to offer may qualify. However, they would only qualify under 
the category of "every three hours of instruction earns 0.25 COC 
points" because there is no academic credit involved and MCIC is not 
an approved provider by IACET. Therefore our 8.75 hours of 
instruction would equal only 0.73 COCs.

This would allow us to say: "CSPs may earn 0.73 COC points for 
attending this event."

Question 1: Is it worth anything to make such a statement?

Qustion 2: Do you think that all 21 of our courses fall under the Blueprint?
