New Registered Sanitarian Study Supports!

REHS/RS Online Course Grant Program

Are you interested in taking the registered sanitarian (REHS/RS) exam? The Western MA Public Health Association has purchased a limited number of online courses to provide to public health officials preparing for the exam. The course is administered by Walter Saraniecki and includes 33 hours of online training and the 400+ page workbook to prepare public health officials for the REHS/RS exam.

Chosen applicants will have access to the course online for 120 days. For those who are interested, please apply by filling out an application form here: https://forms.gle/PJL8aTRzsy4x1W8J6. Applicants will be selected based on a weighted scale that considers factors such as eligibility to take the exam, anticipated exam date, etc. Preference will be given to applications received by June 29th. If courses remain, applications after the 29th will be considered on a rolling basis.
