Sustainability Professionals Certification Offered by NREP
(Chicago , IL ) April 26, 2011 – Ensuring companies comply with sustainability practices is a difficult task – and one that is necessary in an environment where the task at hand and desired outcome are constantly changing.
National Registry of Environmental Professionals (NREP) is now offering workshops for individuals to attain certification as Sustainability Professionals – a certification that will work hand in hand with new and impending government regulations and company mandates. The Level I workshop for professionals will be held in June 15-16 at George Washington University in Washington , DC .
Discussion topics will range from Sustainability Considerations to Hidden Costs and Carbon Footprints to Cap and Trade and Executive Order 13514, along with at least two-dozen additional subjects. Attendees will have a say in topics discussed in day two of the workshop. A full syllabus will be forthcoming.
Level II and Level III workshops will be scheduled to dig deeper into current sustainability topics. All participants of the June workshop will be certified and granted Founder Status, as these participants will be instrumental in developing initial Level I and subsequent sustainability courses. Attendees will be accepted from the first 25 individual requests received.
Deadline for registration for the June workshop is May 15. Attendance fee of $895 must be paid at time of sign-up. All participants will receive extensive amounts of materials prior to and during the workshop, including a flash drive containing over 200 files on sustainability practices.
A Level I workshop for managers is slated for September, certifying them as Sustainability Initiatives Managers. Upon completion of either Level I workshop, credentialed professionals can participate in an ongoing institute to share their knowledge with other industries, organizations and professionals.
NREP is committed to allowing individuals the opportunity to be at the forefront of knowledge of sustainability practices, procedures and parameters as government regulations evolve over time. The organization was created in 1987 and is accredited by the International Certification Accreditation Board.
