Continuing Education
Notice:
The RS Board requires each CE course to be approved annually.
No courses are automatically approved for multiple
years.
Registered
Environmental Health Specialist and Environmental Health Specialist Interns must successfully
complete at least 15 clock
hours of continuing
education annually
in order to renew their
registration.
The Board has developed a guide to Continuing
Education Policies to outline how the Board
applies the Rules
requiring the continuing education. Be sure to
note updates related to
continuing education venues,
listed at the top of the
Continuing
Education Policies page.
The Board routinely
approves courses developed and
provided through the
North Carolina
State of Practice Committee, district
educational meetings, conference education,
teleconferences, and college
courses. All requests for
course or
education approval should be made prior to
attending or completing such
education to ensure
successful awarding
of hours. The Board will evaluate
and
determine which courses, meetings, or other
settings meet continuing
educational requirements.
Effective January
1, 2004, a completed Course
Approval application (pdf) must be submitted with
each request for approval of a
course or educational
offering. A list
of Board approved continuing education opportunities is published on this page
after each Board meeting and
is available for
downloading. Attendance
or participation in various
educational
settings must be documented in some
fashion. This may include completion certificates,
course final grades,
electronic registrations, or a
Board meeting register provided by course sponsors for use by
participants.
