Environmental Professional Registration

Showcase your knowledge, experience, professionalism and commitment to good environmental practice. Achieve Chartered Environmentalist (CEnv), Registered Environmental Practitioner (REnvP) or Registered Environmental Technician (REnvTech) professional registration.

Being an environmental registrant is about having the professional knowledge, experience and commitment to apply sustainable thinking throughout your work in the progressive levels and stages of your career. Professional registration is widely recognised as a mark to be trusted and carries a strong reputation for quality around the world.

Would you like to stand out from the crowd and lead the way towards a more sustainable future? Provide assurance of your competence to employers, clients and stakeholders by achieving CEnv, REnvP or REnvTech.

Our Licensed Members cover a wide range of sectors including; engineering, construction, environmental management, environmental sciences, agriculture, fisheries, water, energy, waste management, surveying, ecology, arboriculture and more.

Professional registration step by step

4. Application & interview

Provide evidence of how you meet each competence for that registration, alongside any supporting information requested. CEnv (occasionally REnvP and REnvTech) applicants then complete a Professional Review Interview.

5. Code of Conduct & CPD

Your final steps are to sign SocEnv’s Code of Professional Conduct and agree to undertake Continuing Professional Development (CPD).

Progression

Each of the three professional registrations are aligned in a way that enables structured progression from REnvTech to REnvP to CEnv. However, it is also the case that each registration can be the perfect fit for your career level and future plans.

Many use the registrations to demonstrate progression as their level of practical experience, influence, responsibility and technical expertise increases – e.g. from practitioner level (REnvP) to Chartership level (CEnv). Achieving REnvP is an ideal way to signal your intention to gain CEnv registration in the near future and your early commitment to professional development – highly valued by employers.

The progression stages can be identified throughout the required competences for each registration.
