Steps to CEnv registration
First step: Establish whether you are eligible to apply for CEnv registration
You must be an existing Chartered Structural Engineer, ie. a Fellow (FIStructE) or Member (MIStructE) in good standing, with the ability to demonstrate proficiency in sustainability and environmental practices.
Second step: Collate and submit your application
You will need to submit a written report with supporting information to demonstrate how you have met the 11 competences set by the Society for the Environment. The CEnv Application Guidance Notes set out exactly what you will need to submit as a report and portfolio of evidence in addition to your completed application form.
Final step: Assessment
You will need to pass as interview conducted by two of the Institution’s Chartered Environmentalists, and the time taken to arrange this interview will depend on the volume of applications being reviewed at that time.
The CEnv Application Guidance Notes set out the assessment criteria with examples, details on what to include in your application report and portfolio, and an overview of the application process and interview.
An anonymised sample report from a previous CEnv applicant is also provided to show the level of detail you may want to include in your application.
