About The Occupational Hearing Conservationist Certification And Recertification

Blog

One of the important parts of the hearing conservation team is the certified occupational hearing conservationist. This is the professional who is responsible for things like performing pure tone air conduction audiometric testing, providing education, and fitting hearing protection devices, to name a few. This article will go over the certification for becoming a certified occupational hearing conservationist, as well as the recertification. 

About the certification process

The course to become a certified occupational hearing conservationist is generally set up as a short program that covers the necessary information required of one in this position. The exam taken to receive the certificate is an assessment that only covers the information that was gone over in the course. Once you have taken the course and passed the exam, you will be prepared for this position. You can find work in a wide range of settings, and you will be working in a field that you know will always be in demand. 

About the recertification process

There are a number of reasons why you will have to be recertified throughout your career, and this is a positive thing. For one thing, recertifying means that your knowledge is up-to-date with the current technologies, and you are familiar with the recent information and protocol within the field. 

Your occupational hearing conservationist certificate will need to be recertified every five years. Something you will want to be aware of is that there are refresher courses. These refresher courses are important, because they will be a big help when it comes to you knowing that you are working with the most recent information when you are taking your recertification exam. 

These courses are available throughout the year, so it will be easier for you to fit it into your schedule and to make sure you have everything completed on time, so you don't have a lapse in your certification and recertification periods.  

Along with making sure you are current with regard to advancements and changes, the refresher courses will also help to refresh you. There may be a good amount of information that you haven't thought about in so long that you would get the answers wrong without this helpful course. You should try to take the course a bit before you have to have your recertification completed. This way, if something does come up, then you will still have time to catch the next one.

For more information on CAOHC recertification classes, contact a company that offers them such as Workplace Sound Solutions LLC.

A Business Consultant Helped My Business Thrive Again

When I quit my job to become an entrepreneur, I decided to open a business in the same industry I had worked in for 20 years. I thought I would automatically make a great business owner due to my experience alone. However, I quickly learned that I was neglecting skills that are needed by a business owner, especially money-management skills. Even though I had many happy customers, I stayed "in the red" for months. I then hired a business consultant who helped me learn how to reduce supply costs and even consolidate my business loans to keep my business afloat. Soon, I began not only "making ends meet," but actually earning a great income from my business. I am eager to share the business tips I learned with other business owners and operators on my new blog!
