Following the release of the SA EPA policy document Certification of Practitioners in July 2018, it is has become even more important and timely that appropriately qualified and experienced Site Contamination Practitioners in South Australia apply for certification with a relevant scheme. This session will be aimed at informing potential applicants about how the available schemes operate, what qualifications/experience are required to apply and how the application processes work. We will hear from professionals who are intimately involved with each of the currently available schemes as well as a consultant who applied for, and was granted, certification in South Australia with the EIANZ CENvP scheme. We will also hear about the EPA’s policy on certification and the current state of play with regard to their recognition of appropriate schemes.

 This session is also aimed at providing a forum for those who are considering, or are currently, applying for certification to ask questions of the various presenters – so please bring along any questions you have. Alternatively, you can email questions in advance to ruth.keogh@fyfe.com.au.
