FAQ
Your Questions Answered!
What is the ASP/CSP certification?
The Associate Safety Professional (ASP) and Certified Safety Professional (CSP) are globally recognized credentials issued by the Board of Certified Safety Professionals (BCSP). These certifications demonstrate advanced competency in safety, health, and environmental practices and are considered the gold standard in the occupational safety profession.
What is the difference between ASP and CSP?
The ASP is an entry-level certification requiring fewer years of safety experience, while the CSP is an advanced credential requiring more extensive experience and expertise. The ASP serves as a stepping stone toward the CSP, with both exams covering similar content domains but at different depth levels.
Can I apply directly to CSP without passing by ASP?
Yes, if you meet the CSP experience and education requirements, you can apply directly to the CSP exam without obtaining the ASP first. However, many candidates choose to earn the ASP initially to gain confidence and demonstrate competency before pursuing the CSP.
What are the requirements for the CSP certification?
CSP requirements include a bachelor’s degree in safety or related field plus four years of safety experience, or alternative education/experience combinations. You must also hold the ASP credential or meet specific education requirements that allow direct CSP application. Visit the BCSP website for detailed eligibility pathways.
What is the TSP?
The Transitional Safety Practitioner (TSP) is a new BCSP credential pathway for international candidates holding Level 6 safety qualifications (such as NEBOSH International Diploma). The TSP allows eligible professionals to pursue CSP certification without first obtaining the ASP.
Is this an ASP or CSP course?
This comprehensive program prepares you for both the ASP and CSP examinations. The course content aligns with the latest ASP11 and CSP11 blueprints, covering all examination domains required for both certifications.
How long will I have access to the course materials?
You will have lifetime access to all course materials, allowing you to study at your own pace and revisit content whenever needed. (Note: Certification preparation courses may have different access terms.)
What is the passing score for the ASP/CSP exam?
The ASP and CSP exams use scaled scoring. You need a scaled score of 200 or higher to pass, out of a possible range of 100-300. The exact number of correct answers required varies based on exam difficulty, as BCSP uses psychometric analysis to ensure fairness across different exam versions.
Where are the ASP and CSP exams held?
ASP and CSP exams are administered at Pearson VUE testing centers worldwide. You can also take the exam remotely from home using online proctoring through Pearson OnVUE, provided you meet the technical and environmental requirements.
