CHP Exam Preparation
Comprehensive online preparation for both parts of the Certified Health Physicist examination — built for working professionals who need structure, rigor, and real support.
Developed Through a Collaborative Partnership
Our CHP exam preparation programs bring together the practical health physics experience of Bolen Institute of Excellence and the specialized curriculum expertise of Bevelacqua Resources. This joint venture supports our commitment to delivering comprehensive, technically rigorous exam preparation.
Which Part Do You Need?
The American Board of Health Physics certification examination consists of two parts. Our preparation programs cover each independently — or together as a combined package. Each comprehensive program combines recorded technical instruction, an extensive practice question bank, full-length practice examinations, and regularly scheduled live instructional sessions during the preparation season.
Part 1 Preparation
Part 1 of the CHP examination emphasizes comprehensive knowledge of health physics fundamentals and concepts. This program builds command of those core knowledge areas through organized modules, recorded technical instruction, an extensive practice question bank with detailed explanations, and full-length practice examinations — the foundational understanding the rest of your preparation is built on.
Enroll in Part 1Part 2 Preparation
Part 2 of the CHP examination focuses on applying technical knowledge to complex calculations, analysis, and written problem-solving. This program strengthens your ability to work through those questions — practicing with detailed solutions that teach the reasoning, not just the answer.
Enroll in Part 2Combined Package
Preparing for the full examination? The Combined Package includes both Part 1 and Part 2 preparation in a single structured path — from foundational health physics knowledge through applied technical problem-solving. Access to each course continues through its respective examination date, and you save $1,400 compared with enrolling in each program separately.
Enroll in the Combined PackageJust need the practice question bank?
The Part 1 practice question bank is also available as a standalone purchase — focused question practice with detailed explanations, without enrolling in a full preparation program.

Decades of Trusted CHP Preparation. Now Available Online.
Long before BIE Academy began offering online CHP examination preparation, Dr. Joseph Bevelacqua was teaching health physics professionals through his highly regarded in-person review courses.
For decades, his comprehensive curriculum, intensive problem-solving instruction, and detailed technical explanations have helped countless candidates prepare for the Certified Health Physicist examinations.
His courses have earned a reputation within the health physics community as a benchmark for comprehensive CHP exam preparation.
A former Chairman of the American Board of Health Physics Comprehensive Panel of Examiners and accomplished author of multiple health physics textbooks, Dr. Bevelacqua combines exceptional technical knowledge with decades of experience teaching the material that CHP candidates need to understand.
Through our ongoing partnership with Bevelacqua Resources, BIE Academy has expanded access to his established curriculum through a comprehensive online learning experience.
Amber and Henry Bolen bring their own radiation protection experience, instructional approach, and online educational resources to the partnership — an ongoing professional collaboration that makes established CHP preparation resources accessible to a broader audience.
By combining Dr. Bevelacqua's educational materials and technical expertise with recorded instruction, extensive practice resources, detailed problem explanations, and live instructional support, BIE Academy offers working professionals a flexible way to prepare for certification.
Established expertise. Proven instructional experience. Modern online learning.

Learn Independently. Connect with Experts.
Our CHP preparation programs combine the flexibility of recorded instruction with regular opportunities to engage directly with experienced Certified Health Physicists. Work through lectures and question bank practice on your schedule, then bring your questions to live instructional sessions designed to strengthen understanding and develop the problem-solving skills needed for exam day. A practical way to structure your independent study: use the practice question bank to reinforce each topic as you complete it, identify the areas that need additional attention, and then sit the full-length practice examinations to test your overall readiness.
Recorded technical lectures
In-depth lectures covering each exam content area, accessible for independent study whenever it fits your schedule.
Extensive Practice Question Bank
Build confidence and strengthen your understanding with access to an extensive collection of CHP-style practice questions. Reinforce technical concepts, identify areas requiring additional study, and learn from detailed explanations that help you understand not just the correct answer, but the reasoning behind it.
Full-length practice examinations
Comprehensive practice examinations designed to help you apply your knowledge and prepare for the examination experience itself.
