Registered Environmental Practitioner Registration | REnvP

A professional registration recognising the competence, skills and commitment of practitioners working to enhance or protect the environment. A perfect fit for your career, or a stepping-stone to your Chartership goal.

REnvP registration demonstrates that you have been judged by your peers to be consistently implementing, developing and advocating good environmental practices. REnvP registrants across the world have committed to continuous professionalism at a high standard and join a collective journey towards a more sustainable future. Verification of your professionalism and competence is vital to reach this goal.

Across consultancy, engineering, materials management, arboriculture, environmental assessment, environmental sciences, product design and more, REnvP registrants are making a difference. They advise senior leaders, co-ordinate projects, influence decisions and work as efficient practitioners. An REnvP can also be, for example, a Chartered level engineer or water manager, with practitioner level (level 5) competence in the environmental aspects of their work.

REnvP can also offer a progression route to Chartership. Whilst working towards the additional knowledge and experience required for Chartered Environmentalist (CEnv) registration, you can demonstrate your ambition with REnvP registration. Alternatively, REnvP can be the perfect fit for you and your career aims, enhancing your employability, influence and credibility.
