CIWEM offers the widest range of charterships and technical membership grades of any professional institute in the water and environment sector, reflecting our engagement with the widest spectrum of environmental issues.
If you are currently a member of CIWEM (MCIWEM), you also have the opportunity to apply for the Society for the Environment registration Registered Environmental Practitioner (REnvP).
Registration provides recognition of your professional achievements and allows you to engage with people and experiences that will continue your development. CIWEM will provide support to ensure your personal growth is not neglected due to the pressures of your everyday life.
Registered Environmental Practitioner (REnvP) is a professional registration recognising the competence, skills and commitment of professionals working to enhance or protect the environment. Becoming a REnvP demonstrates that you have signed a code of professional conduct and have been judged by your peers to be working at a professional standard, consistently implementing, developing and advocating good environmental practices.
As part of your career aspirations, you may wish to use REnvP as a clear pathway to environmental Chartership. The REnvP and Chartered Environmentalist (CEnv) competences are directly linked, offering a progressionary route to your chartership goal. Whilst gaining the additional knowledge and experience required for CEnv, you can demonstrate your ambition with REnvP registration.
