Passing the REHS Exam is the goal Walter has for you. I took the exam a few times and just wasn't able to pass it. After taking this course on demand, it gave me the added pointers, extra knowledge on certain topics to pass. Walter did a great job with replying to emails in an extremely timely manner, which was extremely helpful. The on-demand class lets you pause, go over lessons, and lets you fully grasp the concept of each topic. This fit my learning style the best. After listening to the prolong, my anxiety rose, but the advice he give in there, is spot on. Listening and doing what he said there, it honestly what had me pass. Thank You Walter, for making this class On-Demand during this pandemic.

5 Stars!!! Honestly, I don't believe I would have passed this test without the help of this course. Is it worth the money? That depends on how much help you think you need. I failed the test 2 times before getting this course. Once I went through the videos/slides daily for like a month, doing the practice quiz inside the book etc, I passed for my state on my third try. So, it was worth it to me. For my state, I only need a 573 to pass, and I went from a 570 (second try) to a 646, so I almost even got the National certification of 650! (It won't let me choose the stars for some reason, but I say 5/5 stars!) I'm so thankful this class was made available online. Thank you, Walter!!

I passed my exam on 7-1-2021 with a margin high enough with room to spare… Like most SITs, I’m highly specialized and have no ability to be crossed trained in all things public health. This was a perfect course to take with a 90 day buffer for reuse. I would recommend reading Walters book in completion first. Then watching the course. After that go back through the book and read through all summary slides marked (S), then do the questions at the end of each section. Once you’ve done that use quizlet and search NEHA exam. I’ve made a review of over 1700 questions. By the time you Finish this course you should be able to breeze right through them.

This course was essential to passing the exam on my first try. As a newcomer to the field, the thought of taking this exam was overwhelming as there are limited resources available but this course laid the foundation and structure needed to be successful. First of all, the book is an essential reference tool for this field. Walter lays out all of the important information that you will ever need to know for working in this field. Now that the exam is over, I will keep this book on my desk as an essential reference tool. As a member of the inaugural online cohort, and as someone who has taken many online courses during COVID-19, this was by far one of the best programs. Walter and his wife Claudia took the time to bring to the comfort of your home an extremely well prepared, methodical course. You can work on this course as fast or slow as you want and he structures the sections based on content areas. He also explicitly highlights areas to focus your time on, and other areas that are background information. This is a lengthy exam that covers many areas, and will require you to study a lot. However, this course will direct you to areas to focus on, structure your study, and ensure that your time studying is spent efficiently. Lastly, Walter is an amazing resource to have in your corner, he even took the time to talk to me on the phone and discuss questions before my test day. Do not be alarmed by the price, I can guarantee that it is worth it because the quality of work that you receive is years of hard work in the making by Walter and Claudia. It is also a really great feeling to know that you are supporting a family business who has dedicated their lives to education and advancement in this field on planet earth (not spending your money in space).

Why take this course?

This course was created with one objective...to help you PASS THE EXAM. You probably need the REHS credential to keep your job or to seek a promotion. Professional standards for the practice have become more demanding in the past 20 years. This is critical to encourage higher wages and benefits. We support and encourage our Public Health Practitioners to be of the highest caliber in training, skills, motivation and ethics. Our online lectures, combined with review of the Workbook (included), will strengthen your commitment to your profession, your family, and your community. Will taking this course be a walk in the park? Nah. Can you do it? Absolutely. Walter's students in Illinois have a 3 year average pass rate of ~83% for those taking the exam for the first time. Compare that to the national 1st time pass rate; a dismal ~35%. Walter's course makes it a reliable 1,2,3 process by removing the uncertainty and anxiety surrounding the REHS Exam. Public health pros are becoming specialists, yet are expected to be proficient in all 15 core competencies tested by the REHS exam. This Course and Workbook will both show and tell you what you need to know. The procedures as described in the Course might not be the way you're currently working in your village, county, state, or jurisdiction. But, pay attention and Walter will show you the keys to passing this Exam

Testimonials and Reviews

Worth every penny!

L. from Ohio

Colleagues in Cleveland who had just passed the test recommended that I purchase the workbook. So I did! I realized immediately how the information in the workbook significantly reduced the tremendous amount of information I had been previously studying from multiple sources. I stuck to the workbook only, then recently chose to purchase the online course to solidify my knowledge. BEST DECISION EVER!! I passed the test two days ago (March, 2021)with so much confidence. I can say without hesitation that Walter's workbook and online course is what you WILL need to PASS. He breaks down the information so it's easily understood and narrows the vast amount of data on this exam. Thank you so much, Walter!!!!

100 times better than the NEHA study guide

Eric

Mr. Saraniecki, I ended up purchasing your study guide after returning the NEHA and must say it is 100 times better than the NEHA guide. In fact I have sent your link out to my fellow Navy Environmental Health Officers after I told them all how good it was and several were interested in purchasing it so hopefully more business will come your way! Eric G.

Excellent Class

HM

Excellent class! I highly recommend taking the class in preparation for the REHS exam. I also recommend taking the exam immediately following the class. The course material and instruction was very insightful to the discipline. I'm very glad Walter continues to share his expertise with the environmental health community as this type of guidance is rare.

Great Course!

B.I.

B.I. via LinkedIn: “When I studied NEHA's REHS/RS exam, I was so overwhelmed by broad range of study materials and did not know where to start. So I was googling about REHS exam materials, and found Walter provides REHS exam prep course in Chicago area. I live in CA, so it was too far to attend the class. So I ordered the Workbook and self-studied. It is a very well made exam preparation workbook. I do not have environmental health background (I am nutrition major), but it provides an outline of each areas in REHS exam and I found it very helpful. I highly recommend his workbook, especially if you are not an environmental health major and just do not know where to start!”

I Passes on my First Time!

JH

I passed the exam about 3 hours ago! This was my first time taking the exam and I so very much appreciate Walter's class in helping me with this achievement. Instead of studying multiple sources and taking in information I wouldn't need to pass this exam, Walter narrows it down and gives you exactly what you need to get the job done. He walks you through how to properly reason through the questions. His study book, with all of the practice tests, are invaluable! However, you will be equipped with a tremendous amount of confidence if you take the full course, as Walter goes into great detail in his explanations. I very much appreciate the course and the money was well worth it for me. As I was approaching my deadline for taking this test (to keep my job), and with a busy household including a small business and three little ones, I needed a clear, succinct, efficient study system and I definitely was attracted by the "80% first time test taker" pass rate Walter spoke about. Happy to have joined that group of first time test takers to pass this exam. The test was insanely difficult. And I doubted myself the whole way through it because the questions were so difficult. I was literally shaking my head with every other question in full certainty that I didn't select the right answer. However, I reasoned through every question and used the thought patterns and techniques that Walter told us to use. Used the basic process of elimination with the two obviously wrong answers and, at times, took a leap of faith with the remaining two answers. I wish they would tell you which questions you got right and wrong! With all of that said, I did quite well! I got 758 and I was incredibly shocked! In North Carolina, they only require 570 but I really wanted to get 650 as I want to keep my options open. All of my team members are impressed with my scores. Walter really did well with this program! And, it's not a cheat or a giveaway by any means. I spent a great deal of time studying for this exam. My husband is over it! But I was able to focus on studying the areas that Walter said we're important and it obviously paid off. Thanks again

Passed the first time!

G.G.

G.G. via Facebook I took the REHS exam review course in MA in October and took the test in November.. I passed it the very first time and I have to give all the credit to Mr. Saraniecki's class and workbook which prepared me to take the exam. I hadn't even opened any book before this but then I spent four weekends studying the workbook..everything that... you need to know for the exam is in the workbook!! I will not have passed this test if it wasn't for the 2.5 days class and the workbook that came with it! Thank you Mr. Saraniecki for your hard work and helping us achieve what is considered nearly impossible in the first attempt. :-)

I Passed!

J. Johnson

Mr. Saraniecki, I took your class on April of 2011. I am proud to say that 0n Feb 13 of this year I passed! The information you provided in class and in your workbook gave me the direction I needed. Prior to your class I felt completely overwhelmed and lost on where to even begin studing. Thank you! J Johnson

Worth more than I paid!

Ben

The course was very helpful as a review and as a test prep device. The workbook was amazing by itself and worth more than I paid but your availability to explain the why's not just the what's was invaluable to me. I took the RS test and passed the first time. Thank you so much!

You Can Pass It!

JGG

You can pass it! I am about to take the test for the first time and cannot think of a better study guide than Walter's Workbook and video class. I was procrastinating to study because I was not sure where to find all the information, but I came across his material in the end of 2020 and realized his workbook covered everything. I then decided to wait for him to release his online course in early 2021 to feel better prepared. I definitely recommend this course.

I passed my REHS by using Walter's on demand class & his book. for me the having both was very helpful because Walter will point out things in his book that are either very important and/or not so important. This test is much more than memorization its more about your knowledge on the topics & how you can think through the process to get the answer (even when the correct answer isn't there but a secondary one is). His class help remind you of this. I highly recommend his courses and book. Wishing you all the best!

You will not find a more comprehensive prep course for the REHS. Walter tells you exactly what you need to study to pass the exam, and also provides guidance on test-taking strategies specific for the exam. You will not find that anywhere else. The workbook alone is worth the cost of the course, although watching the videos is extremely helpful. His side-remarks and quirks throughout the videos at first confused me, but then I realized it was one of the best tools for memorizing the information! I would recommend this 100% of the time to anyone attempting the NEHA REHS exam. Best of luck to all the aspiring Environmental Health Specialists and Sanitarians out there! Thank you for everything, Walter!

I think we can all agree that the amount of resources necessary to pass this exam is expansive and overwhelming. When I first started studying I was overwhelmed and could not for the life of me focus on one thing (NEHA study guide, Salvato, online resources, etc.). Walter has combined all 263 (exaggeration) resources into one. Making it much easier on your brain and for planning of your study sessions. At first I wasn't sure if the website was real or if it was a scam, but trust me when I say Walter and Claudia are real people and they want nothing more other than for you to pass. Walter even called me the day before my exam to walk through questions I had. I read some portions of Salvato to better understand things, but if you are a visual and "in person" learner - chose this as your #1 resource for the exam. I passed the first time I took it (April 2022) and it is so rewarding to know that all the hard work and money paid off! Good luck to everyone! 5 stars!!
