- I was a REHS, but I have not renewed in the last few years. What do I need to do to become an REHS again?
NCREHS response: If it has been more than 2 years since your last registration date, you will have to apply again as an intern. If you took the exam after 1982 thru the board, or, if you took the same exam the board was offering at that time, you do not have to repeat the exam. But you do have to have 30 hrs of physical or biological sciences (changed from 15 in early 1990’s. And, you have to repeat the SOP law course within 4 years.
So, if you meet the 30 hours, and have taken an acceptable exam, you may ask for your experience to be applied to your new registration. This particular process is called “fast tracking.”
All this only applies if you are employed in the public sector in a job that requires registration.
I have been been a Consumer Safety Inspector for the USDA for 18 yeaars. We deal with inspecting the animal carcasses for disease and also the facilities for sanitation requirements set forth by the Regulations of the Federal government, United States of America/Food Safety Inpection Service (USDA/FSIS). I was thinking about becoming a health inspector but I don’t have a degree or 30 class hours of education as I was told.With 18 year in the food service inpection I would think I would quilify but was told I don’t. I have several on the job class and class room requirements through the government but I was told that doesn’t count. What I want to know is why can I work for the Federal government but not the state of North Carolina when the Federal government has just as many regulations to enforce as the state. Do I qualify or not?

I want to become an REHS and my bachelors is not in EHS. What science courses are including under the heading of “biological and physical?” Clearly biology and physics courses, but how about those that have to do with biology, like health, anthropology, certain anatomy or health based physical education courses, nursing courses…?

Good Afternoon,
I am really trying my best to have all the requirements in order to apply for Environmental Health specialist positions. I have 21 science credits and I know one of the requirement in order to apply for Environmental Health Specialist job is to have 30 science credits class. My question is do you count high school science credit too? or is it just college science classes? Also, If I enroll in three science classes and apply for the job would you count that as 30 science credit classes? Thank you for your time and consideration.
