Environmental Health Training and Careers

To become an Environmental Health Officer (EHO) in the United Kingdom involves both academic study and practical training. It is necessary to be accepted on a course accredited by the Chartered Institute of Environmental Health (CIEH) at a university or college. Entry requirements include science ‘A’ levels or an appropriate GNVQ or an equivalent BTec qualification. All the universities and colleges offering an accredited course have more flexible requirements for mature students.

The courses are normally sandwich courses which integrate the theoretical academic study with practical training, but it is also possible to undertake the academic course first followed then by the necessary practical training. It is important to ensure that the course enrolled on is accredited by the CIEH or it will not lead to a qualification as an EHO.
