EIANZ’s Certified Environmental Practitioner Scheme (CEnvP) is the leading certification program for environmental professionals across Australia and Aotearoa New Zealand. Operating under rigorous standards, the CEnvP Scheme recognises practitioners who demonstrate exceptional expertise, ethical practice, and commitment to environmental sustainability.

Maria Pedicini, the Certification Board Chair, will present an overview of the scheme, highlight the benefits of the scheme to both individuals and employers, and the application process. We will then have a Q&A session with a panel of CEnvP’s representing different types of certifications.

A great chance to network with like-minded environmental colleagues, while learning about the CEnvP Scheme! Drinks and nibbles will be provided!
