Registered Environmental Technician (REnvTech)
Becoming a Registered Environmental Technician allows you to use the post-nominal letters “REnvTech” after your name, highlighting your level of knowledge and expertise to your employers, colleagues, and customers.
Registered Environmental Technician (REnvTech)
Registered Environmental Technician (REnvTech) is the formal title given to environmental technicians who come from a broad range of professions across multiple industries.
Registered Environmental Technicians have demonstrated sustainable considerations throughout their working life, implementing good environmental practices consistently.
“The REnvTech registration has consolidated my understanding around the current environmental challenges and given me a pathway to develop my knowledge and skills to hopefully apply to become a Charted Environmentalist (CEnv) in the not too distant future. I would highly recommend the registration.”
Rob Andrews REnvTech, OSM Technician, Dwr Cymru Welsh Water
