The Hazardous Materials Awareness and Operations Exam Prep is designed to thoroughly prepare you for a Hazardous Materials Awareness & Operations certification, promotion, or training examination by including the same type of multiple-choice questions you are likely to encounter on the actual exam.

By completing the practice questions in this manual, you will be able to identify weak areas you may have, allowing you to adjust accordingly.

The manual follows the Systematic Approach to Examination Preparation, developed by Dr. Ben. A. Hirst to help improve examination scores.
