Everything in CHMM course
Learn each of the twelve CHMM blueprint domains, then prove it on full-length timed practice exams.
- 12 lesson modules covering every task in IHMM's CHMM outline
- A week-by-week study plan built from your free check and exam date
- 248 original questions, each explained with the reference it uses
- 2 full-length timed exams (140 questions, 180 minutes), weighted like the real exam
- IHMM's CHMM exam is 140 questions in 3 hours (180 minutes); IHMM may include unscored pre-test items but gives no count. Each practice exam holds 140 questions in the full 180 minutes, all scored. The 248-item bank cannot fill two disjoint forms, so exam-2 reuses 36 exam-1 items (content/ihmm-chmm/bank/exam-sets.json _meta.overlap_with_earlier_forms).
- After each timed exam, see how each domain moved since your last one
- Domain scores after every drill show what to study next
- Exam-day checklist: what to bring, allowed references and the calculator rules
- Today's 10: ten a day, and every miss comes back until you get it right
- Listen to Today's 10 on the go
- Readiness by domain, from your own practice results
- Every question, reshuffled into new sets aimed at your weakest domain
- Flashcards for every domain, with spaced review
- Kick, your AI study assistant
Best if: You want a clear path through RCRA, DOT, EPCRA, SPCC, HAZWOPER and remediation, with the calculations worked.

The hierarchy of controls
Crews work near an open edge on a roof. Which of these controls ranks highest?
You: Why is a guardrail a better answer than a harness?
Kick: Controls rank from removing the hazard, to swapping in something safer, to engineering controls, then work practices, with personal protective equipment last. A guardrail protects everyone without anyone having to do anything. A harness only works when it's worn and used right.
Key point: Pick the highest control on the list that's practical for the job.

Questions
When do I get access?
Straight away. Checkout takes you to your course, and the receipt email has the same link.
How do I get back into my course?
Use the link in your receipt email. If you can't find it, enter your email on the course page and we resend it to the address on your order.
Is 248 questions enough?
Each one comes with a worked explanation and its reference. You also get 36 end-of-module checks. Today's 10 and your missed set bring your misses back on later days, so you work the bank instead of reading it once.
Can I get a refund?
Eligibility depends on your plan, when you request a refund and your paid use. See the refund terms for the conditions and exceptions.
What if I need a retest?
Keep studying in the same course. Your access has no end date, so your retake prep is already paid for, and your practice history, missed questions and readiness by domain are still there. The 7-day pass is the exception: it ends after 7 days.
How long do I keep access?
Lifetime access: your access has no end date. Updates are included, so if IHMM moves this exam to a newer code edition while you have access, your course moves with it. The 7-day pass is the exception. 7-day pass: access ends 7 days after payment, to the minute. It does not renew and is not a subscription. A timed practice exam started before then can still be finished.
More questions (6)
If I buy the 7-day pass now, is its price taken off a bigger plan later?
No. Each plan is a separate purchase at its listed price, and the $29 paid for the 7-day pass is not credited toward another plan. With more than a week before your exam, a full plan is the better buy.
Are the questions copied from the exam?
No. Every question is original and written to IHMM's published content outline. Exam content is confidential and we never use it. We are not affiliated with or endorsed by BCSP or IHMM.
How are the questions written?
In our own words, to IHMM's current published outline. See how many questions cover each domain.
Can my employer pay?
Yes. Pay at checkout and we email a receipt you can expense, or download a reimbursement request to send your manager.
Is Kick AI?
Yes. Kick is an AI study assistant, not a person or an instructor. Check important details against your lessons and references.
Can you promise I will pass?
No, and nobody honest can. We promise everything listed in your plan, and a fix within 2 business days for any wrong answer key.
