Chapter 625A - Environmental Health Specialists
NRS 625A.115 - Environmental health specialist trainee: Qualifications for certificate; expiration and extension of certificate.
1. A person is eligible to engage in the practice of environmental health as an environmental health specialist trainee if the person possesses a baccalaureate or higher degree which includes the satisfactory completion of at least 45 quarter hours, or 30 semester hours, of academic work in basic science courses, including biology, chemistry, physics, geology, sanitary engineering or environmental engineering, from an institution of higher education approved by the Board.
2. To engage in the practice of environmental health as an environmental health specialist trainee, a person:
(a) Must be employed as a part of a training program in which the person engages in the practice of environmental health under the direct supervision of one or more other persons who hold certificates of registration as environmental health specialists; and
(b) Must file with the Board an application for a certificate of registration as an environmental health specialist trainee not later than 90 days after the date on which the person initially becomes employed as a part of the training program.
3. Except as otherwise provided in this subsection, the certificate of registration of a person as an environmental health specialist trainee expires 3 years after the date on which the person initially becomes employed as a part of the training program in which the person engages in the practice of environmental health as an environmental health specialist trainee. If, upon completion of the 3-year period, the person has met all requirements to be issued a certificate of registration as an environmental health specialist other than passing the examination required pursuant to NRS 625A.120, the Board may, upon a showing of good cause, grant the person a 1-year extension of the person’s certificate of registration as an environmental health specialist trainee before the person must pass the examination. A request for such an extension must be submitted by the person in writing and received by the Board at least 60 days before the date on which the person’s certificate of registration as an environmental health specialist trainee expires.
