Environment Registration

Environmental registration enables you to stand out from other professionals, demonstrating your commitment to leading the way to a more sustainable future.

Environment Registration

 Environmental registration carries a global reputation for quality and competence, as well as being widely recognised for a high level of knowledge.

The Institute of Water is licensed to award professional registrations on behalf of the Society for the Environment

 

The registration has three sections: 

 

Each of the three professional registrations are designed in a way that enables structured progression from REnvTech to REnvP to CEnv. 

All candidates for registration as Environmental Technician, Environmental Practitioner, and Chartered Environmentalist must satisfy the competence standards set by the Society for the Environment and be full members of a professional body such as the Institute of Water. 

 

If you are interested in displaying your commitment to good environmental practice and want to further your career, why not consider becoming a registered environmentalist through IWater? 

Natalie Akroyd CEnv, Vice President Environment on Professional Registration

The environment deserves the very best people working to restore it, protect it and advocate for it. I know we have those people in the water industry, and professional registration is the best way to recognise and validate the skills and experience of those people. As Vice President, I want to help everyone in our industry see the part they’re already playing in looking after our environment, and support them to get the professional recognition they have earned.
