EHRB Qualifications

Since 1995 EHRB has been involved in accrediting qualifications mainly designed for technician level officers within Local Authorities. Recently, this has come to include qualifications for all persons involved in Public and Environmental Health matters.

The full list of EHRB Qualifications currently running includes:

• Higher Certificate in Food Premises Inspection
• Higher Certificate in Food Control 
• Certificate in Integrated Pollution Prevention Control 
• Certificate in Regulatory Enforcement Practice

The EHRB Qualifications below are Technical Officer Qualifications:

• Higher Certificate in Food Premises Inspection
• Higher Certificate in Food Control 

Successful completion of any of these courses and an assessment leads to a Certificate from EHRB and inclusion on the appropriate Register.

Each of these technical officer qualifications has the same basic structure:

• Successful completion of an accredited course of study;
• A minimum of 6 months of practical training and completion of the logbook;
• A professional interview.

Whilst the order in which the logbook and the interview are undertaken is not relevant, neither assessment can be undertaken until the accredited course has been passed and EHRB informed of the result.

The appropriate logbook is supplied when a candidate registers with EHRB and can be submitted at any time after the successful completion of the course.

Other Enforcement based Qualifications include:

• Certificate in Integrated Pollution Prevention Control 
• Certificate in Regulatory Enforcement Practice

The assessment process for these qualifications may vary. Further details can either be found on individual course pages on this website or by contacting the respective accredited trainers and/or academic institutions.
