The Standard of Excellence in Environmental Employment
For over a decade, ECO Canada has offered professional designations specifically for environmental professionals. Overseen by the Canadian Environmental Certification Approvals Board (CECAB), Environmental Professional certification is the only designation of its kind in Canada to provide professionals with formal recognition of their unique environmental competencies.
Certification is crucial in the environmental sector where green-washing makes it difficult to separate the self-proclaimed experts from the real ones. It demonstrates an individual’s professionalism, commitment to the field, and desire to remain on top of current practices. It is also a measure of a professional’s competencies against verified standards, which set them apart from others in the industry.
