Imagine watching your REHS knowledge rise like a skyline, each module adding a new building as your confidence grows. That’s the feeling behind our REHS/RS Online Study Course.

It gives you a flexible, self‑paced way to strengthen applied environmental health practice across the domains you use every day, including food safety, drinking water, wastewater, housing, and investigations.

Inside each module, you’ll find explanations that make complex concepts easier to work with, real‑world scenarios that reflect the challenges you see in the field, and the freedom to revisit topics whenever you need a refresher.

On its own, the course can help build your applied skills. If you’re seeking REHS credential status, combining the course with our Study Guide and Practice Exam will support both your learning style and your professional goals.

🎭 Throwback to December Training! 🎭

In December 2025, we had the privilege of hosting an incredible training session with Gulf South Vector from New Orleans! 🐭✨

This hands-on training focused on vector control strategies, emerging trends in mosquito-borne disease prevention, and best practices for environmental health professionals. The expertise shared by Gulf South Vector was invaluable in strengthening our efforts to protect public health across Florida.

And of course, we couldn’t miss the festive spirit of Mardi Gras season! 💜💚💛 Gulf South Vector brought not only knowledge but a little bit of that vibrant energy to our training.

These are the people who show up when things go wrong. Who work behind the scenes to prevent problems before they start. Who test, inspect, investigate, and protect.

Your community has environmental health professionals working right now. Testing water systems. Inspecting restaurants and housing. Monitoring for hazards. Investigating health concerns.

But there aren't enough of them. Health departments across the country are understaffed. The demand for trained professionals far exceeds the supply.

The NEHA 1,000 Challenge addresses this directly. We fund students. Students graduate. Graduates fill these critical roles. Communities get the protection they need.

Your donation trains the people who keep your water clean and your food safe.

Be one of 1,000.
