What is the minimum passing score required for certification in the CDPH exam?

The minimum passing score required for certification in the California Department of Public Health (CDPH) exam is 70%. This benchmark is established to ensure that candidates possess a sufficient level of knowledge and understanding necessary for effective vector control. Achieving this score reflects both a competence in the principles of vector control and the practical skills required to perform the duties associated with the certification. By setting the passing score at 70%, the CDPH aims to maintain a standard that prioritizes public health and safety, ensuring that those certified are adequately prepared for the responsibilities they will undertake in managing vector populations and preventing vector-borne diseases.
