Focus: This course prepares participants for the CCPS Process Safety Professional (CCPS®) certification exam and supports annual renewal through continuing education.
The CCPS® is a rigorous credential verifying competency in the latest process safety tools and techniques. It demonstrates expertise, requires relevant experience, and ensures ongoing proficiency—essential for every process safety professional.
CCPSC - The CCPS Process Safety Professional Certification designation signifies more than just training. This credential demonstrates expertise in process safety practice.
Only process safety professionals with relevant process safety experience can earn this distinction. Each candidate will be rigorously screened and tested to ensure their professional knowledge and commitment to staying current with the latest developments in process safety.
The CCPSC is the authoritative process safety credential. Take the first step toward establishing yourself as a recognized expert in process safety: start the certification process today.
This intensive 5-day Exam preparation course merges PSM fundamentals, RBPS pillars, advanced risk techniques, and exam-focused reviews. It covers key CCPS RBPS 20 elements, LOPA, consequence/dispersion modeling, and practical exercises. Based on CCPS guidelines, AIChE LOPA book, and Chemical Process Safety (Daniel A. Crowl). Includes lectures, videos, group discussions, case studies, workshops, exercises, and exam-style questions to build exam readiness.
By the end of this course, participants should be able to:
Get prepared for the next CCPS-CPSP exam and have enough knowledge and skills to pass such an exam to get the Certified Process Safety Professional (CPSP) certification from the Center for Chemical Process Safety (CCPS)
Discuss the four pillars and 20 elements of risk-based process safety (RBPS) and the importance of process safety.
