issues we have incurred over these past few weeks. We have been working
tirelessly with our IT partner to understand and resolve these
technology issues, but are still experiencing some issues. Within the

Attention California Registered Environmental
Health Specialists (REHS)
NEHA has been designated
a continuing education accreditation agency for registered
environmental health specialists by the California Department of
Public Health. Contact hours earned through attendance at the NEHA
AEC and through NEHA pre-approved courses only will count toward
completion of the continuing education requirement for the CA REHSs.
However, NEHA e-learning courses will
NO longer be pre-approved for CA REHS CEs. Click here for
information on
pre-approved courses.
E-learning courses:

NEHA Book Reviews|
NEHA now grants continuing education credit for self-study learning
experiences such as the preparation of an acceptable book review for
books obtained through NEHA. (It is important to note that only
books obtained through NEHA are deemed acceptable for CE book
reviews. This is because NEHA has already spent a considerable
amount of time carefully reviewing and evaluating the content of
these books and has determined that they meet continuing education
standards.) Visit the
NEHA Bookstore. By reviewing a NEHA book, you can obtain a
maximum of 4 contact hours of credit toward your two-year NEHA
requirement. A written book review must be completed for each book
including: a summary of the major topics or points covered by the
book (one page or less); an assessment as to whether or not the
author successfully achieved what he or she set out to do (one page
or less); a personal critical assessment of the book including likes
and dislikes (two or more pages); and a concluding summary that
simply states your perception of the value of the book (one page or
less).
Please note:
1 CEU equals 10 CE contact hours; 0.5 CEU equals 5 CE contact
hours.
