Members of the public health workforce who meet our “work experience” criteria are also eligible to take the CPH exam.
NOTE: If your school or program is not listed as CEPH accredited, you might meet the requirements to take the exam through the “work experience” eligibility criteria.
For detailed eligibility criteria, see our Eligibility Requirements page. To apply for the exam, visit CPH Central.

There is no testing deadline; CPH eligibility is indefinite. However, once CPH applications are approved, no refunds will be issued.
