CERTIFICATIONS
CEnvP Site Contamination Scheme (CEnvP (SC))
The Certified Environmental Practitioner (CEnvP) Scheme is the leading certifying body for environmental and social practitioners in Australia and New Zealand. The Scheme assesses the experience, skills and ethical conduct of environmental and social professionals working across the region and the globe.
As the environment industry matures, the community is demanding greater accountability from industry and government. Certification provides a means of clearly recognising suitably qualified and experienced environmental practitioners, and giving clients and the community confidence in their work. It also allows practitioners to demonstrate to employers, clients and professional associates that their environmental skills and knowledge meet national standards.
Certified practitioners may use a professional seal and post-nominal in recognition of their certification. Once certified, CEnvPs continue to develop their practice through ongoing Continuing Professional Development activities, which are submitted every two years. This ensures that CEnvPs maintain currency in their knowledge base, and continue to strive for professional excellence.
Complying with the international standard for certification bodies, the CEnvP Scheme operates independently and is supported by legislation and government recommendations across Australia and New Zealand.
