Receive
the recognition you deserve for
your expertise by earning one of the environmental health credentials
offered by the National
Environmental Health Association (NEHA). Founded in 1937 by practitioners
who wanted to establish a standard of excellence for the profession, that
standard has come to be known as the Registered Environmental Health
Specialist or Registered Sanitarian (REHS/RS) credential. Since that time,
NEHA has developed additional credentials that evidence mastery of
specialized knowledge.
NEHA
is striving to make the credentialing process as convenient as possible.
Computer testing has now been added, and an online Continuing Education
Submission process has been developed.
These
marks of distinction assist both
employers and the credentialed individual. Employers can be confident that
a credentialed employee has acquired the knowledge necessary to
competently perform their duties. Credentialed individuals may find
positions easier to obtain, and may increase their earnings.

This
credential is now complete and the exam is available for
administration. The first national credential for the onsite
wastewater profession aimed at setting standards of practice for onsite
wastewater treatment system installers. NEHA facilitated the
development of this credential with cooperation from National Onsite
Wastewater Recycling Association (NOWRA), State Onsite Regulators Alliance
(SORA), and Consortium of Institutes for Decentralized Wastewater
Treatment (CIDWT). For more information click here.
The
REHS/RS is the premiere NEHA credential. It is available to a wide range
of environmental health professionals. Individuals holding the REHS/RS
credential show competency in environmental health issues, direct and
train personnel to respond to routine or emergency environmental
situations, and frequently provide education to their communities on
environmental health concerns. The advantages of NEHA's REHS/RS
registration program are: demonstrate your competency and capabilities in
the environmental health field, the continual update of the REHS/RS
examination and study guide based on an ongoing assessment of the
environmental health field, and the tracking of individuals continuing
education by NEHA.
The CFSP is now the CP-FS! The Certified
Professional - Food Safety is still especially for food safety
professionals and is designed for individuals within the public and
private sectors whose primary responsibility is the protection and safety
of food. The exam for this prestigious credential integrates food
microbiology, HACCP principles and regulatory requirements into questions
that test problem solving skills and knowledge.
As of March 1, 2012, the CEHT
credential exam will be temporarily unavailable. The exam content is
being revised and should be available sometime later this year. The
purpose of this revision is to keep the exam content relevant and up to
date with the industry standards. As a result, applications for the
CEHT exam are not currently being accepted. We apologize for any
inconvenience. For questions, contact Carol Newlin at
cnewlin@neha.org or 303-756-9090 ext. 337.
NEHA's RET is a baseline credential for
entry level hazardous materials professionals. The credential is a
excellent way for recent, two year graduates (AA) or career changing
professionals, to demonstrate competency in the core requirements of
hazardous materials handling and management.
The RHSP provides technically qualified
professionals with national recognition for proven expertise in hazardous
materials and toxic substances management.
The RHSS credential is for individuals who
are interested in performing to protocol, field intensive hazardous
materials activities--such as testing, sampling and handling and who
ensure personal, public and site safety.
