The BCRSP recently revised the Examination Blueprint and the new version has been posted to the Examinations section of the board's website (www.bcrsp.ca). This document will be used by the Certification and Examination Committee when it drafts the 2011 examinations.??
Revised Blueprint for Examination
The revised CRSP Examination Blueprint was based on data collected from the 2010 Survey on the Competencies Required of Canadian Registered Safety Professionals.??Following are changes to the domains (bracketed numbers are from 2005). For this article, I have rearranged the domains into the order of importance based on the percentage given to the domains in the CRSP Examination Blueprint: (CRSPEX).
