RENEE CHER LARMON, tyler, tx
Certified Health Education Specialist
"I participated in LaTonya Bynum's one-hour study prep session for the CHES exam. After months of self-study, I had some questions that I wanted to review in more detail. I reached out to LaTonya on LInkedIn to ask some questions - and within an hour - she provided me with a comprehensive study checklist. Thereafter, I immediately signed up for her CHES prep. I learned to analyze the questions and answer them from a public health landscape and not solely from a nursing perspective. I recommend this valuable to anyone who wants to ensure passing results! Thank you, LaTonya!"

I just completed a CHES Study Session with LaTonya Steward-Bynum and I must say that I was not expecting to gain so much knowledge in just two hours! I am very grateful for LaTonya's wealth of knowledge and being very direct on the action steps to be taken in order to pass. She's the real MVP if I must say so myself. I would recommend her course to anyone looking to take the exam" #BlackGirlMagic

Yes, anyone with access to an Android or Apple phone can use the app.
The purpose of the CHES Exam Study Tips app is to equip aspiring Certified Health Education Specialists aka CHES with access to free to cost resources to prepare well for the exam.
I took the CHES exam in October of 2004 and failed the exam by three measly points. Seven years later, I decided to take the exam again and the second-time I passed it. The app and e-course is a result of me not wanting others to go through what I went through. The app provides an overview of key terms as well as practice exam questions. The e-course is a 15 week program providing accountability, guided mentorship by a CHES trained mentor and 15 homework assignments designed to build self confidence in the mastery of the 7 areas of responsibility.
– BREATHE!!!
– Download the CHES Exam Study Tips app by URA Resource Center for Android and Apple users.
– Email info@latonyabynum.com to request the CHES Exam Study Tips sheet and work towards defining the terminology then use it in a sentence aloud and on paper for best application and understanding.
– Find a CHES certified mentor to guide you with real-world examples to assist with putting the book smarts, theory and models to the test.
– Purchase the latest of the Competency Based Framework for Health Education Specialists from the NCHEC.org website and be sure to align your internship, job duties and service-learning opportunities with entry level competencies of the areas of responsibility for CHES. Utilize the practice test exam questions in the back of the companion guide to begin speed testing to ensure mastery of key terminology and reduced overthinking.
– Realize nearly 60% of the exam questions will assess the mastery of the first 3 areas of responsibility: Assess, Plan and Implement.
– For at least 3 months, prioritize and schedule at least 15 to 30 minutes of daily time for review of companion guide, defining/sentencing key terminology and taking/scoring practice exam.
I highly recommend the following resources:
– Review the latest and greatest Health Education Specialist Practice Analysis (HESPA) II Competencies and Sub-competencies for the 7/8 Areas of Responsibility
– Purchase the latest edition of the Competency Based Framework for Health Education Specialists from the NCHEC.org website in order to master the terminology as well as the latest practice exam questions.
Yes, most aspiring certified health education specialists get caught up on overthinking the question and response choices. There are always two out of the four response choices that look to be the best answer.
Speed testing builds confidence, reduces test anxiety associated with selecting best answer choices right away and also ensures you understand the key terminology based on the question itself and response choices while showing mastery in easily recalling the most appropriate area of responsibility and job setting for application purposes.
I highly encourage students, recent graduates and professionals to spend at least 3 months preparing for the exam by studying at least 15 minutes per day weekly.
Time should be focused on reviewing the key terminology, defining the term and using it in a sentence to demonstrate mastery.
