Here you can find out all you need to know about becoming Chartered
Chartered Environmentalist is offered by the Society of the Environment (SocEnv) to those members of its constituent bodies who occupy the professional grades of membership. The award will be available to IFM members who are in the Registered category and are able to meet the requirements of the Society for the Environment. Successful applicants will be those who can demonstrate that they have acquired a high standard of expertise in their field through academic study and/or substantial and varied practical experience. They will also be able to show that they are fully engaged in the practice of sustainable environmental management.
The application process for Chartered status comprises two phases. The first is a written submission to the Institute as detailed in the guidance notes. Should the Membership Committee decide that this reaches the required standard you will be invited for an interview to present the contents of the report to a Professional Review Panel. This will last about an hour and will be held wherever possible in your geographical area. Those members who become Chartered Environmentalists will have to undertake Continuing Professional Development (CPD) to maintain their chartered status.
SocEnv have recently updated their website and resources. The website can be accessed here
