And If You Don’t Pass…

  • You’ll have to wait 6 months to try again - with no feedback

  • Your classmates will be starting their careers while you’re left behind

  • You’ll lose momentum - and the confidence to try again

You Don’t Have to Face This Alone

I know how overwhelming the CIPHI oral exam can feel. There’s no official study guide, no feedback if you fail, and each attempt comes with a significant cost. With only a limited number of attempts allowed, the pressure to succeed is immense.

I’ve coached dozens of students through this process. I know what examiners are looking for and I know how to help you find your voice, stay focused, and deliver strong answers under pressure.

If you’re feeling unsure, I promise - you’re not the only one. And you don’t have to do this alone.

CPHI(C) Candidate is confused and does not know how to prepare for the Oral Exam

At PHI Ready, we know you want to become a Certified Public Health Inspector — and you’ve already worked hard to get this far.

To succeed, you need to pass the CIPHI Board of Certification oral exam, one of the most high-stakes and difficult parts of the entire certification process. The problem is, oral exam preparation is confusing and there’s no clear study guide, which leaves most students feeling lost and anxious.

I believe every candidate deserves a fair shot — and the right support can make all the difference.

I understand how stressful it is to face a panel of examiners with so much on the line. That’s why I offer PHI exam coaching that’s clear, honest, and tailored to your unique strengths and weaknesses.

Here’s how it works:

1. Book a free 30-minute coaching session

2. Choose the support package that fits your needs

3. Walk into your CIPHI oral exam confident and ready to pass

It’s time to stop second-guessing your prep — and start moving forward with clarity, confidence, and your Public Health Inspector certification within reach.
