Prepare to pass the challenging REHS Exam!

This course was created with one objective...to help you PASS THE EXAM. As a public health practitioner, you may need to pass the REHS Exam to keep your job or to seek a promotion. We support the trend to create professional standards for the practice, which justify better wages and benefits. We support and encourage our Public Health Practitioners to be of the highest caliber in training, skills, motivation and ethics. These online lectures, combined with review of the Workbook (included), will help you 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% pass the exam. We've made it a reliable 1,2,3 process by removing the uncertainty and anxiety surrounding the REHS Exam. Some of these subjects you eat and breathe every day; others, not so much. 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.

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.

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 results, Good Value, High Integrity

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!”

Game Changer for Preparing for the REHS EXAM

TSW on May 5, 2021

I have been trying to find time to study all the materials provided by NEHA for the REHS Exam, but it quickly became overwhelming. The On-Demand Course and study guide workbook created by Walter really helped me focus and feel more organized in my studies. The workbook and On Demand course were vital in helping me pass the exam!!!

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!
