CPHQ Prep Virtual Study Group 

The FAHQ 2025 CPHQ Prep Virtual Study Group, Spring session will end  on June 27. The Professional Development Team has scheduled the Fall Study Group to start on September 30 and run through November 7.

Each week on Tuesday we will cover sections of the CPHQ Exam Content Outline for one hour and on Friday we will hold an Open Office Hour to address questions on content and how to prepare for the exam. 

Sessions will be presented by CPHQ-certified FAHQ members.  In addition to presenting and discussing content, the Study Group will provide information on effective test taking, how to identify areas where you need additional resources, and other important preparation strategies.

CPHQ Prep Mentoring (FAHQ Members Only)

FAHQ offers mentoring by a currently certified CPHQ to assist our members in their preparation for the examination.  The mentor/mentee relationship is established after an initial assessment of the FAHQ member’s study needs.  If you are already in a study group at your workplace or virtually, FAHQ will consider assigning a mentor to the group.

Please review the Mentorship Guidelines and Mentoring Agreement and for a better understanding of requirements.  Then contact the FAHQ Professional Development Team to request a mentor for CPHQ Prep.

Contact FAHQ CPHQ Team for questions, additional information, or to suggest other ways your association can help our members in preparing for the certification exam.  Want to be a mentor? Let us know at CPHQteam@fahq.org.
